Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

      I used to sign in to my personal accounts on my work computer. And then a place laid me off and remotely locked the computer before I could sign out of anything, and I realized I had been stupid.

      Now I just use my phone. But I also work from home so there’s no one to creep on me and report I’m looking at my phone instead of click clacking away.

        Protip use anydesk to connect to your own computer remltely and do personal stuff from there. Then the only link to be severed is anydesk, which can be protected by password and 2fa

          Pro tip, use KVM switches and USB mouse movers. Also if your work is hardcore enough to restrict software… Just RDP to your home computer. But I leave no trace of my slack on my work machine.
