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 occasionally click on the little wether icon and see what the forecast looks like. Hope I don’t get fired!

    At my old job we had to research customers which frequently involved looking on Facebook and other sites. I was very intentionally not logged in, which probably wouldn’t work now, and kept any and all searches to items that I could prove were related to a work item. It’s insane that people don’t follow that advice.

      Things like weather will be fine unless you have an unreasonable boss/job.

      But people should only use work computers the way they would if they knew the entire company was watching a live stream of their desktop.

      Even for working from home, I put my work laptop on the isolated guest wifi because I don’t trust them the same way they don’t trust me.
