I'd be leery about posting anything on any platform, especially one that has even your email or other personal info attached to it. Even on a random day that I go browse ahem the other place, I don't really comment anymore. I don't even have my email tied to that account, but I don't trust spez's greedy little pig boy ass, and I'm doing my damn best to fly under the radar while they build their databases. Nor would I trust MS, Google, or even Apple to not be tracking every thought and action online for resistance monitoring.
What are you scared of? There's more of us than there are of them. Hiding in the shadows, too afraid to act is how they win. Be loud and deliberate in voicing your opposition. If they're coming for you anyway you may as well face it head on.
Until those willing to stand up and fight build up into a critical mass, every individual is at risk of being disappeared by the thought police. So until then, there is a good reason to be scared.
Maybe it's worth buying a gun and learning how to use it so that, if they come for you, you at least get to kill a fascist.
This could be the only thing that would deter them.
