Yes, KDE Neon is based on 22.04; but their team ended updates for Neon 20.04 this autumn while Ubuntu 20.04 is supported till april 2025.

Nothing prevents someone from following you on your instance. Knowing the sum of your interests gives me more information than the sum.

So, to avoid having your profile being made and exploited, you could split account by interests.

As an example: Someone interested in videogaming and driving Ferraris has a lemmy account he uses to posts on both subjects. Some mar*keting bot wil report "This guy certainly has a high budget for his videogames. Let's sell him expensive racing games with exclusive Ferrari logos & goodies". If that person had one account for video games and another one for ferraris, he'd be protected from that.

But yes, everybody should feel free to use a single wide use account.

If a family member picked up the phone from another room while you were using the modem, you got dcded. Of course, one coulnt be joined by phone when he was using internet.

You have to weigh the pros and cons.

You need a job, not a mind crushing one.
