The Pakistani bot has a point tho

OP has one too apparently.

We've now added recursion to the fascist idiocracy

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Well, when you have a small number of sides to take, the odds are good of some of the worst people taking the same one as you.

What is the tool used to get this?

But this is not the "About this account" tab, which doesn't expose your city, email, or device type. It looks like a document on a pastebin-style service (it has voting and report options, number of views, etc.). So how did they get the additional info?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

You used to be able to just google and find this kind of stuff. E.g. here you might google that username and find this other document. Of course it doesn’t mean that the author of that document is in fact the same user, like you say someone else could have planted that document to make the OP look bad.

I mean, data leaks have happened on Twitter. So, I'd assume they just acquired that data from the leaked information.

[–] Sphks@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks. I was not aware of this.

Someone, probably an ex employee of Twitter, leaked a shit ton of data a couple of years ago

I know what a "warm water port" is supposed to describe but what word would an American use ?

[–] Ch3rry314@piefed.social 17 points 1 month ago

The US has ports up its entire coastline to Maine and Washington State that don't freeze over. Warm water is a Russian tell because their ports do freeze over for months at a time in winter.

But yes, they can be called ports, or docks, or even seaport like airport.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago

Just a port?

[–] hesh@quokk.au 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you have to give this info to make a Twitter account?

The location I get - any site can track your (apparent) location. But this has full name? Is that information you have to give to Twitter?

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 12 points 1 month ago

Maybe you need to provide it to buy a checkmark

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yes you give that to Twitter and most people give their real name. But that data is not exposed, unless you want to. There was a big leak a couple of years ago when someone put massive dataset of Twitter on the internet.

Real Americans love a good genocide, TBF.

Didn't disprove anything

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Paid troll machine goes brrr...

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Well yeah I bet.

But where were you born and raised

I really miss M.A.D. Magazine...

Good bot. Someone has to push the American Overton window left of the current madness.

[–] Etsideus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

So real american citizens enjoy genocide
