  • Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this

    It depends on your instance. There are 3 main tankie instances. Hexbear, Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml my instance blocks the first two but allows the last. This is because ML users are generally not obnoxious and keep their politics within their instances while the other two run wild all over other instances. Personally I dont feel like ML users are that bad. There is right wing lemmy instances but Majority of the instances de federated from them over their disgusting views. I think lemmy does a good job and has the infrastructure in place to promote a healthy range of political views.









  • Disclaimer, I’m not a network professional im only learning. But you dont need ufw since your router firewall should be able to filter majority of the traffic. But in security there is a concept of layers. You want your router firewall then your device firewall to provide multiple layers incase something slips through one layer.

    So to give a simple answer, it depends how secure you want your network to be. Personally I think UFW is easy so you may as well set it up. 5sec of config might stop a hacker traversing your network hoping from device to device.
