Someone did a stylometry attack against hn awhile ago, it would with very high confidence unmask alt accounts on this site. It worked. There is zero reason to believe that it couldn't be applied on a grand scale.
What if I don't have an alternate HN account? Or what if I do have one, but it has barely any posts? How can you tie this account back to my identity?
Stylometry.net is down now, so it's hard to make any arguments about its effectiveness. There are fundamental limitations in the amount of information your writing style reveals.
How do you know it didn't miss 10x more than it found? Like, that's almost definitionally unprovable.
How do y’all establish ye Theory Of Stylometry, O Phrenology Majors?
O, @dang confirms it on Mastodon or something??
More seriously, why is this essential?
That language could be recognized by a deterministic finite automaton!
