@ehhh@marine@Moon I've never specifically asked how an admin would go about tracking a user through tracking cookies. even moon is perplexed, or appears to be, at how one could accomplish this. it's a pretty big deal.
@Moon i'm just going by what they said :cirnoShrug: maybe they were full of shit the whole time, but it is concerning if it's truly that easy to fedi admins to track their users.
<2022-06-27T02:58:23.000Z> [ADMIN 1]: im going to set up a trap in that poast's webserver will log all traffic by that IP and track him around, then we can paint a picture of where he went and what he was trying to do <2022-06-27T02:58:47.000Z> [ADMIN 1]: but we are going to watch it for a few weeks. he will slip up with referral sites or other cookies that can be tracked and i will find them <2022-06-27T02:59:00.000Z> [ADMIN 1]: [ADMIN 2] is more autistic about this stuff then i am so i expect results from at least one of us
<2023-02-12T09:19:45.000Z> [ADMIN 1]: this person had a very specific way of searching for shit which made it super easy to find her <2023-02-12T09:20:13.000Z> [ADMIN 1]: so she moved to another instance -- [NODE 2] -- whos' admin im great friends with and we often work toghether on shit, like this -- which continued tracking her <2023-02-12T09:20:51.000Z> [ADMIN 1]: we planted a tracking cookie that recorded her steps after leaving poast until she came back to poast and she would frequently namesearch herself on twitter and come back to poast. it was really sad
