    attacks like this are just correlation/looking for distinct high info signals. Lemmy is if anything even more vulnerable via federation. But you knew that, because you read the article and didn't just reply like a 5 year old struggling against the irresistible call of a marshmellow.

    When's the last time you put your real name, current location, employer, coworkers and work history on Lemmy?

    I didn't say that.

    Lemmy, and all federated socmed, is much easier to data mine. The way you talk, the spelling mistakes you make, when you post etc can all be used to locate you and demographically identify you and lemmy replicates everything, even posts you delete or edit, to anyone federated.

    Do you talk to people like this in real life?
