The downside of everything being federated is that it’s really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

    I consider Lemmy to be more pseudonymous. Which is to say, I am practically anonymous to most users, but it wouldn’t take much for someone with resources to pester my instance into giving up my IP.

    The content of my posts, comments, and votes is intentionally public information.

      Yeah that’s true; real anonymity would be something like 4chan where users aren’t distinguishable. Here you can tell who people are, but not necessarily find out their real life identity.
