YSK: Browsing "ALL" at work might get you pulled into an office, even with NSFW off.

RCMaehl [Any]@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 908 points –

Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

Browsing personal sites, especially social media, on a work computer is insane

Insane? I wouldn't go so far, everybody has downtimes from time to time, unless you are doing something crazy... It is fine.

So why not using your personal phone instead?

Really depends on the place of work. I work in the IT of out company and my PC isn't monitored. My door is constantly open though and there are a lot of people passing. Me looking at the screen is normal and part of my work. Me looking at my phone is always seen as me not working.
