I don’t know why people keep attributing privacy to Lemmy when ActivityPub is anything but.
Is ActivityPub logging which IP I post from? Is ActivityPub monitoring which communities I view? Is ActivityPub blocking me from browsing with my VPN on?
I got off lemmy.world because they block VPN connections. Not happening, under any circumstances. I don't trust anyone that much.
Is your IP passed on to other instances along with your post/comment?
No. ActivityPub does not share your IP with other instances.
Nope, that info stays on the home instance.
No idea. I installed a VPN on my router to get privacy. That's all I ask.
Meanwhile I know lemmy instance that blocks most clearnet connections and can be accessed from tor and i2p
Trust them with what though? What are you posting?
Did you just do the "if you don't have anything to hide, what's the big deal" move?
I want privacy. That's all.
I'm just saying that you're literally making posts and comments specifically to be heard. What's getting obscured here?
Well, my ISP doesn't need to know anything about my posts. And the fediverse doesn't need to know who I am beyond "growingentropy," so...
Ah yeah that makes sense.
I have a router with a VPN. I'm not disabling that just to post on lemmy.world.
