Good disclaimer, maybe I should've had one

Two things

  1. If you're able to encrypt; then done case closed. You can even add a "destruct" login where logging in to a secondary account deletes the primary account under the event that the gov forces you to login.
  2. If you're not able to encrypt (e.g. shared system or cameras watching you type, or written documents) then then slang can actually be effective and easier than a whole language. It can be dynamic/fluid, and gives the author the defense of metaphors and misunderandings. It's basically the only way to have hidden communication with others "in plain sight".

Finally, governments are practical. If something looks interesting, like a thing labeled "journal" with mysterious words inside, they're going to spend resources on it. Your best protection can be boringness. Write a novel, like LOTR, have the language be part of the novel, and when characters speak, replace their dialog with your journal entry. Put it on the shelf with other novels, and it becomes something that's not worth looking into.

I looked at some other posts by OP and they're pretty clearly not a flat-earther

I feel like this question didn't deserve it's downvotes. I was hoping to see a bunch of hilarious answers

To be fair, I actually didn't downvote. I just thought it would be a funny answer.

I post on other communities, but haven't thought of any questions worth putting on asklemmy yet.

I download the CSV of transactions from my bank. If I make amazon/walmart purchases I make a note in my phone of the date and what it was. If I forget to make a note I just try an remember what I got.

So I most of my life I would agree this is impossible, and I STILL agree "write every day" is terrible advice. But I established a morning routine (hardest thing I've ever done but it's been going for 3 years now) and followed all of the steps in the book "Write no matter what" which are mainly:

  • LIMIT writing time to 15min; treat it like a sprint of how many words I could get on the page (including 0) and then timing out even if I'm on a roll.
  • Keep "here's what to do next" note every time

It feels like riding a unicycle for the first time; there is this really specific perspective that makes it work. It's easy to fall in any direction, and there's no real advice, you must feel it yourself and make the balance work for you.

I thought I'd never be able to, but I was/am able to write for 15min a day and it ends up being a shocking amount of useful content.

I feel dumb for having to ask but what exactly is "active users half year" vs "active uses monthly"?

Is half year just mean one or more comments/upvotes in the last 6months?
