I don’t really know what I’m talking about tbh, but my understanding is the more unique you make yourself, the easier you are to identify. For example, as soon as you use an ad blocker, your browser fingerprint becomes more unique because your average person doesn’t use an ad blocker. Even fewer people use Tor. So if someone knows you are using Tor, then they know you are 1 of maybe 100,000 people instead of millions (idk if those numbers are accurate, but you get the point).

That being said, Tor does do a pretty good job of making you blend into all the other Tor users.

But what I was talking about initially was mostly your ISP identifying your Tor traffic. So you use a VPN, but again you are now more unique than someone not using a VPN, even if your traffic is more encrypted.

Yo chat, we’re cooked

I disagree. Fucking skibidi toilet living rent free in my head.

But Lemmy doesn’t require a phone number? Unless you’re saying you used the phone number to register an email, then used that email for Lemmy. I have a hard time believing your job would jump through that many hoops to track down your Lemmy comments. Seems like it wouldn’t be worth their time. Maybe the NSA.

I spent a lot of time early in my career working on some UI component libraries that I ultimately deemed a failure. However, I learned a lot from that. I’ve found that as I’ve settled into a more senior dev role, it’s become harder for me to experiment.

What I’m trying to say is that best case, you come up with something cool, and worst case, you learn from your mistakes and apply what you learned to the next project!

Best to sell it. Since you use Tor you’re probably already on a watchlist

It’s not dead! I make Apple intelligent proofread what I write. 🤓

…but yeah, I’ve completely forgotten how to proofread.

Lol

Good to know, thanks! Likely I will setup a few accounts to test my client with multiple instances.

I’m working on my own lemmy client that will support keyword filtering on both web and in the app. Still need a couple months before it’s ready for beta testing.

New account because in the process of working with the lemmy API, I’ve realized how many API versions the world instance lags behind.
