As an immigrant non-permanent visa holder I am afraid that X is just giving data to the government to find a reason to deport me, could moving to bluesky in any way help counter this?

Public posts are public regardless. I don’t see how your choice of network affects this in the slightest.

Posts might be public, but data connecting an individual to a post, such as email or phone number, might not be.

Why are you worried about being deported if you have a visa?

The new administration are talking about revoking birthright citizenship. I can see why a mere visa holder would be concerned.
