Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA) (mullvad.net)

Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.

Through constant packet sizes, random background traffic and data pattern distortion we are taking the first step in our battle against sophisticated traffic analysis.

IIRC that only blocks communities from that instance, not users.

Instance blocking is dependent on client implementation, as it isn’t provided by lemmy itself.

edit: no longer the case

Lemmy has it since Version 0.19.0 as a native feature: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commit/50f81cf1573c8a37e9b35c28af92f95e453a7927.

Huh, neat

I think you are correct, but not having the opportunity to participate in a thread on those instances because you can't see them anymore is part of the ways to avoid troubles.
