    If someone was bored enough they could go find the most popular posts from the election cycle and create a list of people pushing what agenda and then track how many of those accounts are suddenly inactive today.

      Imagine engaging in a witch hunt and harassment directed at individual users

        Comment and post history are basic functions of the platform. Everything you post is linked to your account. No one is wrong for sorting through that data.

          I have used the post history a grand total of zero times because I literally don’t care about your post history. It’s a social network, these people come and go, not the party committee meeting to see who to use as a scapegoat for our failures, today.

            I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. What is a software that you use 100% of its features? I don’t use the direct messaging feature, so no one else should either. I don’t post pictures as posts so no one else should. Lemmy isn’t hiding the fact that everything you post is tied to your account. If that’s unacceptable then don’t use it.

            I don’t care about your post history.

            I do care about broad patterns over thousands of users.

          That’s the thing, who decides that ?

            Any reasonable person with a brain.

            If a list were to be generated of a bunch of accounts that stopped posting as of November 5th, one could look at the post history of said accounts and reasonably infer if they were bots.

            Being of Russian (specifically) origin would be a bit more difficult but also somewhat irrelevant at this point too.

              Yeah, and you are the reasonable person with a brain right?

              Don’t worry, you’ll realize your mistake when the inevitable comes and the party committee finds you guilty of the same

              Jesus Christ, you people really got rekt with that election

                Did you mean for this reply to go elsewhere in this thread? It doesn’t appear relevant to my comment beyond the first sentence.

        Imagine putting words in someone’s mouth because you can’t argue against what they said without doing so…
