Do someone use lemmy+tor? And what benefits it gives to me?
A little bit more anonymity I guess, but be mindful that Lemmy is very public in nature. That includes all of your votes, so it’s still pretty easy to profile.
There really is no privacy benefit, so I don’t think it would be worth doing.
There’s not really a point when using Lemmy, the only benefit is to hide your identity to the server but nothing else really
Wow, a surprising number of people here don’t know how Tor works.
Yes, Tor Browser is a huge boost to privacy. There’s a reason its the browser of choice for domestic abuse survivors, refugees, and investigate journalists.
Why would you want to use Tor for Lemmy?
Idk just though about this idea
You could Read the documentation to spin up your own instance in a podman container and from there create an account on it to browse the feeds, but otherwise I wouldn’t advise you to do that if for privacy. I mean you could but, I definitely wouldn’t.
I don’t agree with what the others are saying.
You’ll get the benefits of Tor as you would on any other site. And you’ll help the Tor network by using the service and keeping other users more private.
Just be mindful about what you say about yourselfIf you login to a site through Tor you are in fact deanonymizing yourself.
If you’re concerned about your ISP then maybe a VPN would be a better bet.
Not if you only ever used tor to access the site.
True… bonus points if the instance has an .onion site.
It makes it slower with little affect on privacy
If you log in w/ tor to account you’ve logged it w/o it you deanonymise yourself and it makes no sense.
