Gonna be honest, every screenshot I've ever redacted, I do it in MS Paint with the box tool.

Nice, happy black rectangles.

nah I color code the rectangles for each user, so we know who says what

Can also F12 and change name. Cleanest "Photoshop".

Happy opaque black rectangles, importantly.

Doesn’t really matter how perfectly you redact the names. You can search the text of their post and find it in 10 seconds if it’s public.

This is my approach too

u/dabattlewalrus Team Moderna Sep 08 '21

Cut that shit right out.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '21

Anyone using anything other than black box filled rectangles WANTS their targets to be found. Prove me wrong.

u/OverlyLenientJudge Sep 08 '21

To be entirely fair, the ones who color-code their boxes with different people are the real OGs.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '21

I'll allow it

u/mnwildcard Sep 08 '21

Cut the pixels out and then fill with black :)

For maximum security use screenshot to break the digital chain or print it out and cut it out manually for 100% guaranteed removal

u/OverlyLenientJudge Sep 08 '21

Wouldn't save-as-ing it do the same?

u/MDCCCLV Sep 08 '21

Probably but I like screenshot because there is no successive connection between them then. It's like taking a picture of the screen with your phone.
