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.

    If you are on their network they can see what you are doing. At the end of the day, the business will protect itself.

    Do what you want at your own risk. But never assume that any company is on your side.

      This is so simple, whatever policy they have if something goes wrong they will try their best to find a scape goat.

      Why do you people have phones with gigabytes of daya for?

      Additionally, do your best not to be part of the company where you might get into trouble for just using internet.

      Of course they can. That’s why I usually use my phone as a hot spot when I’m browsing private stuff ;)
