No.
If you aren't running your own dojo, you're fully deanonymized, and if another coordinator pops up, your mixes would be pointless. Move to a new seed. (If you are using dojo, nothing is necessary to do now)

"fully deanonymized" - After reading the posts of this link, Tell me how this is supposed to work technically? Unless you've been fooling around with KYC UTXOs.
The wallet server has all the xpubs for non dojo users & the xpubs with a bunch of 1m, 5m, etc sat UTXOs in their histories are the postmix accounts. *If* the feds have the wallet server, they can find the postmix account, find the corresponding other three accounts, and cluster every users transactions & mixes together, so unless a user never touched KYC, their name would likely be tied to their cluster.
Don't forget, the guy who wrote those posts...is now in prison. Whether prison for this is right or wrong (it's the latter), the samourai guys clearly didn't have it all figured out.
