Opsec Paronoia

Hey folks.

I've been browsing this subreddit for a while, and after learning about proper opsec, I thought back to all the times that I have browsed r/drugs and googled various illegal things. I also used a throwaway (without tails) to ask someone on r/sporetrader how much it would cost to ship to my areacode. (Which was definitely a bad idea)

I type this now from a tails laptop, but am unsure if there are any steps I can take to lessen the possibility of my earlier use being used against me.

tl;dr paranoid redditer wonders if it is safe to browse this reddit without tor/and tails and whether their past browsing can be used against them.

Burn it down. Just get to burning.

It's all role play so until you actually order illegal drugz you shouldn't worry. Also I don't think google searches will come back to haunt you, but I'm not very smart either

no, always use the Tor browser to access dnm subs or accounts that post in dnm subs https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs/wiki/bible/buyer/about/redditwithtor using tails is not required, Tor browser on another os is still okay.

yes there was a case recently were a vendor posted a vending-story on this sub and he later got arrested [although because of other mistakes he made]. the story he posted was of course found by law enforcement and was another nail in his coffin.
