This is for posts that I care most about people seeing if they want to see posts from me in particular.
Instagram is especially annoying pooprietary software, so I don't want any of my things to be Instagram-exclusive. Initially, my strategy to mitigate incentives for viewing my Instagram account instead of my Lemmy account was just to not make Instagram-exclusive posts. Then I realized that this results in curation and reduced clutter that are both Instagram-exclusive, so now "dullbananas highlights" on Lemmy will be the exact same set of posts that's on Instagram.

You are correct. However if a sniper was able to take out a gravy seal in such an environment, I would suspect that the sniper had a means to disappear.
The noise that observers create would make it REALLY hard to identify the location, unless someone saw the flash.
Sadly, while the sniper is gone, we get a Luigi situation. They will waste a ton of resources finding someone to blame, and that person is now guilty in the eyes of the regime.
Or, worse, they just start massacring the crowd. This one is much more likely in my opinion.
They would absolutely open fire in a blind panic, spraying every civilian on the block with bullets.
