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.
Why would people not just use their phones? I would never browse any social media on a work computer.
I had a lady in the marketing department open a ticket with us many years ago when ILoveYou was running rampant and we had blocked yahoo mail, gmail, etc on our corporate network and she was PISSED because “I need to access that for my other job!”. Yes, she put that in the ticket. That was a brief discussion with her manager and a resume generating event for her.

Ironically I would have been happy to help her figure out a solution had she not been a complete and utter bitch about it. Instead she got her ass fired for misusing company resources. I suspect her boss was looking for an excuse, 'cause this woman was a 100% Karen stereotype.
“Resume generating event” - that took me a moment, but then I laughed

That only helps if you aren’t on company wifi. Guess it’s time to stop misusing the corporate wifi password I shouldn’t have.
A VPN would be fine, no?
Most corps block vpn traffic, I know there are ways to “tunnel” traffic to get around this but I’m not very familiar with them
