Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

    Different threat models. There’s the threat of being punished or fired by workplace surveillance;

    Separately, there’s also the threat of some unknown third-party snooping on your data for whatever other reason (identify fraud, etc).

    The post discusses the first and I’d argue that’s more compelling for most people, but the second is also valid.
