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.

    Eh, my work explicitly states we can use our work laptop for personal use as long as it doesn’t interfere with work. We can even install software if we want, but there are a lot of security features that ensure you can’t put anything wonky on there.

    That said, I usually steer away from social media on my work laptop, except some highly moderated and text-focused places like resetera.
