Pseudonymity has never been perfect for preserving privacy. Soon it may be pointless.

    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.

            Cut the personal attacks, like yours on the original commenter, and people in real life will talk to you too.
