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.

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

    YSK even the local tab on any instance will load many transcluded images from other instances.

    if you’re worried about your employer monitoring for suspicious hostnames, you’re rolling the dice every time you do any personal web browsing (outside of sites that don’t transclude 3rd party images, like wikipedia, and, ironically, facebook…).
