I feel like this article has as much fear-mongering as the adverts it's railing against! I agree with the article in that there are two big issues with using a VPN: 1) Cruddy VPN services that aren't worth the money, and 2) Users connected to a VPN don't change their behavior and give themselves away.

For #1, use a service that's been well vetted (handles DNS, IPv6 properly, doesn't keep logs, anonymous payments, killswitch, etc). ProtonVPN, Mullvad, iVPN are good choices imo. For #2, ah, see https://mullvad.net/en/help/first-steps-towards-online-privacy/

Oh, I gotcha! I thought you had some immediate knowledge I didn't -- the reddit thing has me a bit jumpy I guess. lol. Lemmy.ml seems pretty chill, that's what I joined here, so I hope it stays sane!

Are you referring to physical issues with Lemmy.ml, like staying reliable, or some future philosophical changes?

"just gives results... for a.. guitarist."

lol! Lemmy was mind-blowing amazing and I'm not at all surprised he's all over the top results. I get your point though and def not trying to disparage you :)
