This may look like a weird question btw.
I see constantly people here worried about digital security, I see people using Tor, deleting social networks, and just sharing the different levels of security that they use.
So I was wondering, how safe is Lemmy? Sure it doesnt collect info like Twitter and Meta does, but that doesnt mean its 100% safe. So what are the main problems we can have here? Is there anything the 3 letter agencies could exploit? Is there any preventive measures users could take?
is it hard to learn to install these? I know a bit of c++
For Android variants? If there’s a build for your device, no, it’s usually easy. You need to install some Android tools (usually just
adbandfastboot) to your PC and follow some instructions. What phone/tablet would you be using?Galaxy M10
Hm. Unfortunately, I can’t find anything for the M10; it’s likely one of Samsung’s less popular models.
Do you have a laptop/desktop? If so, you could install a Linux/BSD distribution, or run TAILS from a USB drive. If the M10 is your only option, the best recommendation I can make would be to use the Android version of Tor Browser and only use Lemmy through that, or to install Orbot to route your Lemmy client through Tor.
Yeah Im currently using Linux! And thanks Ill try Orbot

Thats great! thanks
You don’t even need to learn how to program by having good opsec. It doesn’t hurt though to know programming in general. The most reason people get caught is because they can’t keep their mouth shut.
main problem afaik is getting the unlock/root key to your phone these days. most manufacturers will not give it out anymore
