from AlcoholEnjoyer: reminder to never ever look yourselves up on sites like these

edit: WEBSITE DOWN!!!

  • you have to draw the line somewhere

    yes and that line should be simple and consistent inorder for non-techies to follow.

    The line I’m recommending is:

    if you don’t trust a site then don’t visit it without additional security measures

    This does not require someone to understand any specific attack vectors or keep track of which sites are how dangerous in these circumstances requiring this level of precaution and so on.

    It’s not bullet proof but I’m trusting people here understand that a fascist website is untrustworthy and it’s better they be overcautious than to try to minmax their security.

      i don’t think you need to take “additional security measures” to visit a website thrown together by a group of facebook poisoned internet busybodies. the likelihood of a random webpage, fascist run or not, having the kind of exploit that could be performed with just an IP address (or do a driveby i guess?), is almost as low as the likelihood of them blindly dumping it on everybody that loaded their webpage. it’s overly-cautious security theater. it’s throwing spilled salt over your shoulder to ward off bad luck.
