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.

    Because it’s fine?

    Yeah some companies might monitor what you do but:

    a) It’s not that common or not that detailed as some people imply it

    b) It’s mostly for detecting malware or breaches, they don’t care about your social stuff.

    c) Most people just check normal stuff in social media nothing to worry even if somebody from works check it

    d) People have downtimes, checking Twitter or similar for a little while it’s not a firing offense…

    e) Most of the time is not checked by anyone except if something flags it. Which again usually is set for malware and breaches not if you spend x time on YouTube or Twitter…

    Yeah…use your phone if you can… But some people are painting this as the end of the world like the untouchable the forbidden fruit.
