The Vivaldi link actually goes to https://www.theonion.com/wi-fi-password-on-post-it-note-read-aloud-like-incantat-1848830888 .
Yes, but I did not want to take credit for this discovery, especially on a federated site, which is why I have shared the toot of the person who found it
The Onion is not exactly obscure. If you want to credit the Vivaldi user, I think it's still preferable to link the Onion directly, and add a note saying where you found it. That saves people from some clicking and tracking.
It's a mastadon instance and Vivaldi is pretty privacy respecting. (Despite being chromium based)
Tracking? I think that the Fediverse isn't Facebook, no tracking conecting or linking from one to another, tracking from the Onion, but not from Mastodon. Look for yourself who is tracking you https://themarkup.org/blacklight (nice in your Bookmarks)
If nothing else, your ISP is also tracking.
That isn't avoidable if you don't use an VPN. ProtonVPN (OpenSource) is fine, even the free one (no logs, encrypted military level, no data limits in the free version, made by cientifics of the CERN)
Discovering what? A very popular satirical news site?
Not in Spain
