A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

User (profile) privacy on lemmy/kbin/... (self.asklemmy)

submitted 2 years ago by mwalker789 to c/asklemmy

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I notices that also on Reddit (some old page we use to use :) )

Since we are constantly talking about user privacy - why on all platforms you can still go under user account and basically build whole "persona" on that data.

I remember that there was a tool where you put in reddit username and it produced "scary" level of details about person.

So is there only way to just swap account every few months?

If someone was interested enough in you they could probably match your different accounts to one poster.

These are about large user profiles, but I'm pretty certain you can train a model to recognize a user's writing style from only months of posts

These are about matching large profiles, not just months of data.

But I'm pretty certain that you can train a computer to recognize a persons writing style from just months of data.
