  But not necessarily link it to your other accounts or real identity, which is the point.

    The folks who build tracking / id systems would maybe need an afternoon to go from your Lemmy username to your home address. They’d need five more minutes to know your underwear size, your license plate number, and where you slept last night.

      For my account sure. But it’s also reasonable to have a fairly decent account that’s decoupled from all your other accounts. Use a temp email provider, VPN, and proper browser and you’re most of the way there.

        There is a lot of information in the way you type and the topics you choose to discuss. More than we suspect.

    Not a static target. What we consider a profile today is vastly more comprehensive than what was deemed sufficient a few decades ago. Ad networks today would put intelligence agencies back then to shame. They can always get more info. In a few more decades people might be talking about if Google and governments should be allowed to read your thoughts. The tech making this possible is already being developed and further along than many might expect.
