During downtime I didn’t really care about surfing on reddit, but it does feel a bit weirder to surf into some “random” Lemmy instance like lemmy.dbzer0.com on my work computer for some reason. Do you surf the fediverse at work?

    Be careful browsing federated social media on work internet. You don’t know where requests will be made, I’ve seen a post of someone getting in trouble because lemmynsfw was pre-loaded by their browser.

    Use a VPN

      Some instances at least will proxy the images requests, naking all traffic appears to be from your home instance but it’s not a guarantee. We had to turn it off because of some issues early during the rollout, we’ll look into turning it back on soon.
