If you can create a Lemmy instance and federate, you can shovel data about every vote linked to an account - eviltoast

I’ve created this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/8898162

And some admin showed they can see how the upvotes\downvotes go.

If you are concerned about privacy, you should know, that this data on Lemmy can be easily mined and tracked.

    As far as I know, LLMs are not that clever yet, and it would require a lot of work to automate tracking of so many targets. But a dedicated person tracking one user can see these. Unknowingly, we leave a lot of cues to know who we are. Not only patterns, but exact word-markers, like calling something by a regional-accepted name. Like how my english teachers insisted London’s metro is called Tube.

      Yeah I am not interested in criminal behaviour or personal threats. i know a human would be capable to extract much information if on purpose.

      I am more interested in like temperature mapping of my text. From a statistical point of view If my patterns are behavioral and forecastable?

        It’s mainly keywords at that point. This process is sure to have steps. To step into a suspected category, to be elevated into those who are to be studied closer, you should ring some alerts.
