posts and comments can commonly be flagged for talking about delicate subjects, and keywords can draw the notice of uninvited readers (and put people on watch lists).
Tangential thought: and when I engage with such delicate topics, my keyboard sometimes glitches & spontaneously switches to Russian, and that’s how big brother reminds me they’re watching & listening, so I’d best behave! 😜 Literally happened a few minutes ago on a delicate topic regarding Israel/Palestine genocide 😓 My keyboard glitched & switched to Russian 🤔
If you’re on either windows or Linux, a keyboard layout or language needs to be added to your settings to switch between the two with a hotkey combination. No idea where the setting currently is in windows (it became very mobile when MS started moving settings around all the time), but in KDE, it’s under keyboard settings. There will be a language and then a layout, plus a key combination for switching between the two (IIRC in windows, the key combo might not even be on the same page).
Though another possibility is there’s a hardware switch on the keyboard itself or maybe a custom driver if you had to install anything to use that keyboard.
Anyways, maybe that information will help in looking into what’s actually going on (maybe your key combo is something you hit when talking about the forbidden topics) or stop it from happening (by removing the Russian language and keyboard layout if you don’t normally have reason to use them).
This all happens on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. I plead ignorance to “windows, Linux, hotkey combination, MS, KDE,” etc. I have no idea what any of that means. I deliberately have 2 language options installed on my keyboard to amuse my toddler-level proficiency in Russian & use it occasionally for funsies, but to switch languages on my keyboard requires some deliberate effort. Every time it glitches & switches languages on its own in the middle of my thumb pecking out English sentences, it spooks me. And I attribute it to big brother because what else can I do 🤷🏼♀️

That’s paranoia.
Don’t be paranoid. Do pay attention, identify patterns.
