MODERATORS
That’sa bigger problem than lemmy. But also, yes.
Also a very precarious idea imo. It makes an easy target for social engineering, targeted marketing, etc.
I assume if a nefarious actor made an instance to sell behavioral data, they would have a field day if every account of a person was linked.
Edit: The idea in itself is good. For that we need to make assembly, sale and possession of behavioral data illegal.
Yes, but I might have several of these accounts to separate my identities, so I might not link the most used one to your instance, but a throwaway one
