- dhosek 4y agoInteresting. There was commentary about finding anonymous/throwaway accounts, but on mine, I did not find my anonymous account (although I use that very rarely). The accounts that turned up seemed to be all real, and in a couple cases I could guess what might have made the checker match us (e.g., mentions of MFAs or Apple //e or similar politics), but not all. I didn’t notice any linguistic similarities.
- rkagerer 4y agoYeah back then I felt mine didn't produce good matches either.
- ravenstine 4y agoNeat experiment, though it took me fewer than 30 seconds to rule out my nearest "doppelganger". Too many patterns there I've never used.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoThat's interesting. I wonder if they will periodically update the data set to reflect new posts.
