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.

    Don’t use company computers for personal stuff, it all gets logged and can be used against you at the very least as evidence that you weren’t working come performance reviews.

      It’s fucking insane people don’t know this in 2023.

      Work computers are for work, and pretty much every employer monitors what you do on it.

        Even if you don’t, there’s plenty of different ways to identify a user on company wifi.

        For example, have your cellphone named “Stephano’s iPhone”? Narrows it down to the Stephanos working in range of that access point.

    Just don’t use a work computer for anything but work. Use your personal cell phone and don’t use their wifi.
