I have recently started to care more about my privacy and anonymity, so I am just scratching the surface and still don’t know much about it. I know that you should not log into any accounts with sensitive information while using the Tor browser to prevent your identity from being leaked. What about websites (like Lemmy, Masterdon, etc.) that can’t leak personal data because I never provide any directly? I use Mullvad + alias email addresses to log in.

What if I logged into my Lemmy account outside of Tor without a VPN one single time? So Lemmy should have received my real IP and location at some point. Could someone find personal data because of this single, unprotected login while I’m browsing Lemmy through Tor?

Thanks for any answers and explanations!

    some instances do block Tor exit nodes, so if your current home instance blocks you will have issues. federation ftw; use an instance that accepts Tor exit nodes.

    does anyone know of an instance offering .onion addresses?
