Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I got off lemmy.world because they block VPN connections. Not happening, under any circumstances. I don't trust anyone that much.

Is your IP passed on to other instances along with your post/comment?

[–] JackbyDev 5 points 4 months ago

No. ActivityPub does not share your IP with other instances.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Nope, that info stays on the home instance.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

No idea. I installed a VPN on my router to get privacy. That's all I ask.

Meanwhile I know lemmy instance that blocks most clearnet connections and can be accessed from tor and i2p

Trust them with what though? What are you posting?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Did you just do the "if you don't have anything to hide, what's the big deal" move?

I want privacy. That's all.

I'm just saying that you're literally making posts and comments specifically to be heard. What's getting obscured here?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, my ISP doesn't need to know anything about my posts. And the fediverse doesn't need to know who I am beyond "growingentropy," so...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Ah yeah that makes sense.

I have a router with a VPN. I'm not disabling that just to post on lemmy.world.
