In the early aughts I was a a self-described paranoid cypherpunk. I was obsessed with privacy: running Tor, trying to convince all my friends to sign each other's GPG keys so we could build a web of trust, and booting Trinux from a floppy so I could tunnel my Very Important HTTP traffic over SSH where The Authorities (TM) couldn't read it.
None of that prepared me for the experience of being a moderator on Fedi, and the myriad privacy headcanons people construct.
