- Comment on is there a way to refederate instances just for me? 6 months ago:
Yes, but It’s pretty hands off since 99% of security stuff is managed for you by the Lemmy software, including rate limiting. Just make sure you use a secure password and if you want put the instance behind cloudflare which is super easy to do.
- Comment on What are some good computer literacy resources I can point someone to? 7 months ago:
She’ll have to get a computer and use it in her free time instead of a phone. It’s the best way
- Comment on Will getting a digital bank account let my government track my online activity? 8 months ago:
Yes. If your country is authoritarian use cryptocurrency such as Monero. Even Bitcoin can be much better.
The bank would know the amount, the merchant and other details even if it’s a merchant from abroad. The bank might have a duty to report certain transactions or could be forced to give out a record. Other international payment process or foreign banks will generally not refuse a request if it comes from a country government you are a citizen of.
You can use crypto to buy gift cards to shop at regular retailers. This is your safest bet if you’re concerned about a state surveillance.
