Hi there, I’m new here. We were told to explore Lemmy for a class project on online communities. Is this a good place to start asking questions?

A college course reading Orwell? That's rad. I'm a tin foil hat type of person and I've gotta say, attaching to the internet alone is already pretty heinous. Even your ISP is monitoring your DNS requests, selling the info, keeping records, etc- all before a person so much as logs in to a website/platform.

IMO the hellscape of 1984 is nothing compared to what's going on in the real world.
