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.
By all means, please do. IT departments can look for this type of traffic and report it to HR, which saves the company money.
I find it funny that people seem to think that browsing reddit at work is ok, as long as it’s not porn. I don’t think employers see it that way.
