I’m sure it’s happening but if the fediverse gets big you can bet your car that they will deanonymize you in the fedi.

    What I imagine when I think of a scenario like OP is the companies actively scraping Fedi profiles and posts and then using machine learning(?) to map the data to known users. Trackers wouldn’t be necessary.

    Of course, that’s a lot of work and I doubt it’s happening soon (if ever). Still interesting to think about.
