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

    Thats why you make an account with no info attached to you. And run a vpn. Not fool proof, but better than nothing

      Remember to avoid the ask lemmy posts like:

      Whats your favorite pets name, what street did you grow up on, do you like cut or uncut, etc…

      Something like Tor, and a proper education in keeping identities compartmentalized would be more appropriate for a use-case where someone is trying to maintain anonymity. VPN is mostly only good for a bit of wifi security and piracy.

        IP address won’t report back to your home country, reputable VPN providers will fight to protect your anonymity because they know once they accommodate law enforcement their business will tank.
