sigh made a news post about a certain politician, but deleted it in the end. I found out that he has a track record of cancelling people by contacting abang PDRM to have people and their family arrested for online comments.
I don’t want to bring unwanted attention to this instance, nor do i want to sit in Lokap and makan maggi Kari or whatever lokap cuisine they serve there. i most certainly will be too broke to pay for bail also.
malaysia’s protection of free speech is extremely poor, there is no human rights charter, and there aren’t enough litigious Kyles and Karens living in Malaysia that challenge the constitutional validity of laws that impede free speech for fun so much so that each public organisations (especially police) always have to keep an entire department of lawyers to mitigate the risk of acting beyond what’s acceptable. one wrong comment you will really end up in lokap.
Yeah. I have already decided that when i’m ready to do that kinda of thing, it’ll be through another instance that is never logged in except through tor, and never left logged in on any device. Lemmy is more dangerous than reddit that way.
Ridiculous. putting more effort than having a porn alt.
Device can still be tracked. Case in point - reddit permanently device banned me, when authorities compel they will happily give users information to them.
Im new to Lemmy, May I know what makes Lemmy so unsafe?
Instances are only as safe as their admins and providers are. You can see from the hacked instances the other day that some basic steps such as not using the same account for admin use and normal use are pretty alien to new lemmy instance owners. If they fail that - well that doesn’t bode well. Years of reddit means safety isn’t on your mind if you are not already doing tech work.
And lemmy is only starting to beef up security. At some point lemmy will be hardened against attacks. And admins that have run their instance for years will have their security practices. But let’s face it, it is still alpha software.
Tor and VPN should not be used together, you have to pick one. And i’m comfortable with tor.

Better do it through VPN + a brand new device.
