  • Their website (https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/learn) do mention the concern you have; Blocking trackers means you are a user with a very specific privacy settings. I suppose it would be like going around with a full face mask; You are technically private, but you are uniquely identifiable unless someone else does that. I also get “Uniquely Identifiable” on my personalised browser, but nothing like it when I try it out on newly installed Mullvad browser with no changes.

    Not that I know much about how Tor traffic is identified, but Tor bridges seems like a potential solution? I would dig into that a bit more.


















  • I don’t think Lemmy ever claimed they’re decentralised, because it has a specific meaning that sets itself apart from being federated, and Lemmy certainly isn’t decentralised.

    The whole freedom of federation comes from the fact that if you don’t like something, you’re free to set up your own stuff and do it there. In practice, it doesn’t work that well as advertised especially for something like Lemmy, which creates an additional layer of isolation (communities) within itself, but it requires a large group of people in a single community to work. I think Lemmy needs a way to '“merge” communities across instance.
