#anonymising — Public Fediverse posts

I'd like to open the data behind research on https://www.earth.org.uk/RSS-efficiency.html and internally I am retaining RSS feed fetch logs with the last IPv4 octet hidden, but what is a reasonable level to hide to avoid re-identification (if I remove other obvious User-Agent IDs)? The last two octets? Seeing some of the IP helps decide if a visitor is a repeat, or emerging from a cloud with a randomish IP, etc.

Yes, we are not big fans of video as a result and tend to be more an audio consumer.

Do you mean #Invidious? They are indeed great in #anonymising and in our use case for providing an #audioOnly download also.

We understand that one of the great benefits of Peertube is that people watching the content also become distributors. It would be great to see if #Peertube could handle a journalist like #LeeCamp.

His work is too important for closedSilo, dotCon platforms.
