For good privacy (from fingerprinting) it is undoubtedly a bad choice.

I’m really surprised servers have not started by default limiting and/or vetting who can federate with them. I know many Lemmy instances block many other instances from federating with them, but only after learning about what a lot of their content is. To me this practice kinda creates a very fragmented “which wind would you like to piss into” problem.
People don’t know about what they don’t hear about
Some people take the initiative to learn things on their own though. I suppose we’re not their target audience however.
Being a furry is not common
The number of children who identify as a furry in your local grade school would shock you.

Batteries do not explode, they burn.
this is dangerous advice. courts can still subpoena the usenet provider for your information.
not sure but I heard they recently caught the FGC-9 designer

there are many solutions, but they should stay hard to find
imagine waiting for a torrent when usenet immediately saturates your link 24/7

Mac OS 9 and BeOS/Haiku
Unfortunately GSM nor UMTS works in the US anymore. Only LTE/VoLTE and above is supported.
Indeed… for example OTF (who is funded by US Congress) has provided funding for several large open source projects like Signal, Tor, F-Droid etc. and some have taken this to mean they might be compromised… but of course there’s no actual proof of that to my knowledge. And even in the linked article the author appears to use a bunch of half-truths and just straight up makes things up that don’t actually exist in the sources they say contain what he writes (example: OTF/Congress is not the CIA).
Personally I don’t have any suspicion or reason to believe they might be compromised, but if such proof ever did come around… I wouldn’t be surprised.
Friendly reminder that Signal on Android contains proprietary code (google play services), and the server software is rumored to be closed now and/or not what they are actually using due to a lack of updates for a prolonged period. Of course it’s just a rumor and I have no way to verify that, but thought it was worth mentioning (hope this doesn’t count as FUD).
Molly-FOSS seems to be the preferred 100% open mobile alternative client.
Yep. Though not sure about Russia but I know China can and does block the majority of usual Tor access methods including the obfuscating pluggable transports like obfs4/snowflake/etc.
Reminder that sites like israel.tv are still “illegal” to visit and all US ISPs are forced to block it, even though this directly contradicts Net Neutrality.
