Here are some examples that come to mind:

  • Having enough food/water/essentials to make it through 3 days without electricity or gas (like what was recommend in Europe recently)
  • having a plan of how you'll to keep in contact and meet with people you care about if there's no internet or cell service
  • making sure whatever social media you use to voice dissent cannot be easily linked to your identity via email, photos, location data, etc.

So that's how they're paying to detain people in El Salvador? The US is paying El Salvador $6 million per year to illegally detain immigrants indefinitely

At some point, the vetting process will end up being more time consuming than actively moderating the instance, it will still not be 100% effective.

That point has already been crossed for most consumers. The administration is just blissfully unaware
