you can send messages to users on lemmy and reply back. but ig the instance owner can see them,thats why you use matrix and send your id to the user to chat with.

yes its enough,with an antivirus(windows defender is great) and common sense. sticking to fmhy(dot)net megathread,plus you dont even need a vpn if you dont live in first world.

also you need to bind your vpn to torrent client(qbittorent) . as for direct downloads they dont need vpn even in first world .

also you need adblock to not get malware,use firefox + ublock origin. or brave browser with shields on aggressive. and bec ads are just bad,note these adblockers work for everything not just piracy. they also work for youtube.
