Just a small heads up; ive noticed a uptick in links spread on Reddit, 4chan and even here to collaborative playlist from youtube, spotify and similar with very non or very few followers. All coming from new accounts.
Its a common way to fish for your personal data. They will make a new list and post it in only certain posts/threads and wait for you to subscribe with your account.
An easy way to protect yourself is by setting your phone or pc to open links in a second browser where you are not logged into anything. Set it to delete cookies on exit.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Seriously: if being a communist is dangerous where you live, use Tor Browser and never log into any other account in the same browser session
also, unless there’s a proxy on Lemmygrad for remote content loaded through Markdown in posts and comments, your browser will be sending requests to untrusted parties like Google
I’ve been thinking about this for some time, embedding html in comments might be fun, but it doesn’t sound safe. Especially in communities where doxing could lead to really bad outcomes for some users.
Is Tor browser on the app store or are they all bullshit and you need to do it another way?
The iOS/Mac App Store? IIRC, not officially; there’s an unofficial (AFAICT) app for iOS called Orbot which makes all (?) traffic go through Tor, but I can’t vouch for it personally. For non-mobile OSes and Android, you should only download it from torproject.org (or build it yourself, if you’re a masochist)
Tor Project recommends Onion Browser for iOS (link)
I forgot about that one. Orbot is in case you want all traffic to go through Tor, but using Orbot with another browser is nowhere near as good at preventing fingerprinting as using Tor Browser
