I bought a scythe, but it's not very good at pushing the lawnmower.

What type of metadata is on a server attached to posts, comments, votes and such?
Like, you don't see the post or the mullet?
There are a lot of options, both free and paid. It might also depend on factors like your device and use case. You probably want to do some research on one of the Lemmy privacy communities but I would recommend mullvad
Is it even possible for a slave owner to be mean if they let you use their ping pong table, bean bag chair, and coffee pot?
Damn, the Talos principle was a good game
Layer 7 network monitor devices can detect and pinpoint a lot more than you think.
I installed some new wireless access points(WAP) at an office of about 300 once with layer 7 monitor abilities and when making sure everything still works noticed someone watching a YouTube video on repeat. I could see they watched it 3 times already. The video link was rendered in the UI as the title of the video, Two girls one cup. I could tell it was a WAP close to one of the bathrooms. I was also given all the details of the device used to access it like it's OS, manufacturer, MAC address and other identifiable info. All of which could be used to identify and fire an employee if an employer wanted. Also this was like 5 or 6 years ago.
So when ever I do something that maybe I don't want others to see that I did, I use a vpn.

Yes although a company can still sue for trademark infringement and send cease and desist orders. Also the tld might take your website away.
Some registrars might also think it's more profitable (or just easier) to charge for the extra domains that a company might want to buy.
This is terrible even from a capitalist perspective as stated in the article
More interestingly though, trademark protection generally applies to goods and services in a particular class and that too in specific jurisdictions thereby complicating matters.
Unless the goal is just to make sure no one usurps the big companies that are able to pay > $5000 a month for the service.
There is something to be said about the security aspect in regards to typo-squatting. But the better solution there is to let the browser or a browser extension give a warning the way it does for sites without https certs. Possibly by comparing a list of similar names to a database of traffic rankings and then warning that app1e.com is not apple.com are you sure you want to proceed. but even then it's going to ensure more traffic goes to the big companies and probably won't stop the more common use of typosquating which is for email scams.
It should be said that the same security problem exists with phone numbers too.
In completely unrelated news, I now have a private repo on my private gitea that has a lot of c++ code
