    Step 2: Search the whole internet: It quietly checks LinkedIn, Google, other Reddit accounts, etc., to find possible real people who match those clues.

    Oh. Whew.

      To be honest, internet search got so shitty, soon it will be a really impressive skill to search the internet efficiently

      I thought Lemmy comments might be indexed anyway, but neither Kagi nor DDG turned up anything for my username. Wonder if it’s different for other instances?

      Edit: Kagi actually does show some threads I’ve participated in by enabling the “Fediverse Forums” filter

        Not surprising considering those challenges against AI scrapers likely also effect Search Engine crawlers. Stuff can get through if it’s federated on other servers that don’t have such measures but if you don’t participate in communities on those instances it’s less likely.

        Searched “lemmy floquant” on DDG and one of your comments is the second result.

        First result was the user profile of the same name but different instance.
