This may look like a weird question btw.
I see constantly people here worried about digital security, I see people using Tor, deleting social networks, and just sharing the different levels of security that they use.
So I was wondering, how safe is Lemmy? Sure it doesnt collect info like Twitter and Meta does, but that doesnt mean its 100% safe. So what are the main problems we can have here? Is there anything the 3 letter agencies could exploit? Is there any preventive measures users could take?
This got me curious so I looked. In Firefox it is possible to disable the sending of referred header entirely. I just turned it off to experiment and see if it breaks any sites.
It shouldn’t break any sites. If it does, they’ve made some bad design decisions with regards to the referer header.
cool. Thanks for the info.
