Is it okay to log in to my actual social media account via Tor? (lemmy.world)

If I log in to my account that includes my name, will my previously anonymous device now be associated with my account? What if I do the same in TailsOS?

Yes. That's how a bunch of people get caught. Sometimes it's just logging into an "anonymous" account that shares a username with a trackable/traceable network.

Never log into anything if you're expecting privacy.
