Nice suggestion i will look it up, thank you!

Thanks for the reply, i will keep it mind.

I will keep it in mind, i will be mindful of commands and flags. No typing without being certain of what each command does.

Thank you, even if its simplified, the browser example was really helpful. So in summary, having software up to date and being aware of what you do, should in most cases be safe. I was asking just in case there was some configuration i should do before connecting. With browsing i know that if i use something like firefox and ublock, i should be safe from most malware unless i screw up pretty bad. I will probably research ssh a bit more, as how it works, but you put some fears away. Thank you again.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the explanation!

Since we are on the topic of signal… im not tech saviie but i have read lots of blogs and people about how secure is the signal protocol. My question is … how can i be sure that the protocol is implemented as the open source code shows? Please correct me if im wrong but from what i read on their website the apk they provide has the capability to update itself at anytime. So what stops them to change how it works with an update? is it posible to build the apk yourself and stop the ability to update?

Np, happy to help. I had the exact same question a few days ago.

At the end of the page, theres a link named Instances, there you can see which instances are linked or blocked with the one you are using.

It’s blocked in your instance sh.it.just.works. Not in lemmy.ml. Each instance server has their own list of linked servers and blocks.

The one blocked in lemmy.ml is a troll instance name, it doesnt redirect to lemmygrad but to a pro trump one.

Don’t worry, the dev of redreader said that he has been in touch with lemmy devs and plans to make the app more general, such as able to interact with diferent sites: Link to his last update on the app
