Every other post here I’ve seen is low key promoting violent revolution. So I’d imagine there’s at least one FBI agent hanging around and writing reports.
Each instance admin can check a box to require email. It reduces spam accounts and reduces work for admins because users can perform password resets themselves.
Each instance admin decides whether they require an email. Mine doesn’t, but it’s more important to choose an instance with admins you trust and not located in the US.
Why does it matter if the instance is in the US? Just more susceptible to government pressure? Mine is in the US, as am I, I haven’t seen any action from them, their whole thing is to be hands off which is why I chose them.
You don’t need an email with lemmy.org? what is wrong with the .world accounts?
How does one go about finding and installing a vpn on a computer and phone connection? Because half the vpn’s are themselves spying on users and selling the data to brokers I’ve heard, which rather defeats the purpose, especially as the government buys all data broker information.
On one of those I did notice that they didn’t allow people to post, I think it was just for the articles their preferred accounts posted or something. That was one of those world news ones.
Yeah they get very fussy and egotistical. The sort of people who were hall monitors as kids and never let anyone get away… except for their friends. Like the actual police. ACAB.
Are we safe here on Lemmy?

Everything on Lemmy is public
Some things are more public than others. DMs are technically ‘on the internet’ as well, but they aren’t indexable by a search engine.
True but who’s watching Lemmy?
In the days of LLMs?
Assume all contacts are hostile and practice good OPSEC.
*chuckles*
Lmfao no. Use a vpn, rotate your username, dont use personal emails.and definitely don’t get a .world account.
Use Lemmy.org. No emails needed. Don’t forget your password.
I’m new to Lemmy. Why does Lemmy.world require an email and Lemmy.org doesn’t? I assumed all the Lemmies and Piefeds and whatnots required an email.

Don’t use your real email regardless of instance.
Too late. Nobody told me. I thought they all required email. I might sign up for a different account if that isn’t frowned upon.

Nice tips

.world should be considered the US government. The mods and admins are more or less government simps. They are AT BEST “center” politics.

I look up VPNs on the privacy reddit or lemmy. Some vpns are good, usually the paid ones. The free ones are certainly selling your shit.
It’s just software you install and click the on toggle with.
$10 a month subscription last time I used one.
Federation and privacy don’t really go hand in hand
anyone using any public facing website to organize a protest almost deserves to fall in my eyes.
Why hasn’t everyone downloaded signal yet?
Do you want to be my signal friend?
