Hey guys, thanks to some of you I was able to set up my lemmy instance. Its working flawlessly. But here comes my new question:
From a security perspective, is it less secure and less anonymous this way, right? I mean with an account on any other instance you would be kinda insivisble if you use a VPN and a alias email without any trace back to yourself. But with an own instance anybody can check where is your server located, therefore you would be less anonym. Right?
depends, a server is just a server. Its more about how you setup your domain and secure your site. My domains are all anon and I run my servers through cloudflare. You don’t really see the actual server itself, just cloudflares gateway.
