We should be more careful. 1 in 30,000 is a pretty good chance to not get found out, but when it comes to videos with smaller viewcounts, we should not be allowing them to be shared.

Also we should do something about the tracking links that people keep sharing here willynilly. Even if it's just a rule change. Feels like 6 months since I last posted about this without change.

    vpn and invidious and chill? but sharing google docs inherently seems more obviously bad

      container tabs on firefox. I keep social media in a blank profile that's really only logged into hexbear and matrix.

      yeah, but this approach can be generalized to any service that you are logged in to really. VPN helps but really you just can't open signed-in tabs of links from untrusted sources

        Its more that those basically force you to use hexbear in private window at least, and preferably under separate exit node, or your activity doesn't require those hoops even. With small links viewership - so we shouldn't share archived news stories then?
