You can avoid getting arrested in the UK for thought crimes posted on X using this one simple trick: Don't post on X.

X is da shite
True, but that doesn't change the fact that if you're posting publicly, there's the risk that they'll still find out. If people want to communicate about things that will get them arrested, they need to use an end-to-end encrypted messenger. If they absolutely want to post publicly, they need to take the necessary precautions no matter what social network (or protocol) they use.
Isn't an anon account enough?
Depends on whether the antagonist government decides to subpoena the social network. Harder to do on a decentralized platform but still not impossible. Besides, there are ways to corollate posting and traffic patterns to the targeted account if they're really determined to find out who it is. That's why an anonymous account, only ever accessed via a VPN or Tor (only one or the other, it shouldn't be accessed via both) is the best way to do it... And be sure your VPN is trustworthy, like Mullvad or Proton VPN.
Yes subpoena risk is real with centralized shitshows. Assuming VPN is a given, then an anon nostr account is better. It does not make you invisible, but to prosecute based on intelligence gathering is a whole next level of tyranny, a line thankfully not yet crossed.
that's actually a good strategy.
i browse X all day, steal the memes and post them here.
all you should post on X is that X sucks and they should try NOSTR.
you're still going to be arrested though ...
