XSS vulnerbility hack. From a mod:
Thank you. That's a very nice summary.
Thx for replying. Would you expand on the idea why VPN wouldn't help with increasing the person's privacy?
BTW, I have tried logging in using Tor. It pretty much works normally but slightly more slowly. Of course, Tor throws more fits depending on how the connection is created, so you are right, I personally would hate having to use it regularly.
Thx for the reply. For the sake of discussions here, if someone think they can increase the privacy by always using Tor to access all the fediverse accounts, and let's just assume they don't ever miss (for me, this probably is unlikely). How do you think this increases linkability to their ... ?
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I think this makes sense when you trust your VPN provider more than your ISP/government.
Thx for the reply. I probably wouldn't want discuss anything indicating illegal activities or political activism on the Fediverse. I think Reddit was just demanded to turn over some (subset?) of discussions about copyright piracy. They might get away without the subpoena altogether on the fediverse arguing the data is already public.
Also, isn't onion service pretty much used to hide the server's IP, but doesn't do much about hiding anything for the end users?
Hello,
Since your Lemmy posts, comments, related activities, and your basic profile information will be stored in the databases across the fediverse, possibly never to be deleted (or kept by somebody who can), do you:
- Always use Tor/VPN with a fediverse app?
- Recommend others do the same?
If you feel that it is unnecessary, why do you feel that way? If you think it is necessary, why so?
Thanks. I am trying to get a feel of what I should do. For example, if my instance loses its data (due to a hack, sale, vulnerability, etc.), I am pretty sure all the information is lost (including my IP addresses). If other instances lose their data, or keep the data for their own purposes, then my posts/comments/related activities are lost (maybe excluding some of my profile information, my settings, and my IP addresses).
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Maybe if the expected phenomena don't take place, then some weeds may help.
Damn it, I thought it was a real story ending suspiciously. The community name is definitely not the first thing you see here. Thanks, dad.
I looked. I'd guess the ones with 0 votes are posts done by bots, possibly powered by AI. The one I looked closely posted and commented to get karma points to get past the filters to post promotions/scams in other subs. The mods, including spez himself, are not doing any filtering. I am not sure if any is done for protest, but I only looked closely at one.

He does recommend using the built-in browser's password managers; he just had beefs with how the extensions, which the non-browser password managers have to contend with, are implemented, and with the security of the vendor's network and software. He himself uses Chrome password manager.
Judging by what are on the blanket, it's her blanket.
There are transplants here on Lemmy, but few subscribers, and few contents. Some likely would remain that way.
For on-line RSS reader, try https://www.inoreader.com . I love it. You can search for feeds right on the site, or can go to a specific site to look for a feed sign. For example, Lemmy has a feed URL right next the question mark on top, so you can read your Lemmy's subscriptions as a feed as well.
Next episode: Incursion of the Bods.
I have questions about the native web interface.
What do you do to keep track of posts you have seen? i.e. You like the post, would like to see more discussions, how to keep track of them? On Reddit, you can click the Bell button and be notified/emailed about the follow-ups. On Lemmy, I've been hitting the save button to go back and look.
What do you do to keep track of comments? On Reddit, you can "Follow" the comment and be notified/emailed about the responses. On Lemmy, I can't keep track of them, except via the Save button for the entire post above there is a save button on each comment as well..
Thanks!
edited: there is save button on each comment.
Partial solution: use Save button for Post or Comment, and sort the comments by whichever way to let you see new/interesting comments.
