Step 2: Search the whole internet: It quietly checks LinkedIn, Google, other Reddit accounts, etc., to find possible real people who match those clues.

Oh. Whew.

    I thought Lemmy comments might be indexed anyway, but neither Kagi nor DDG turned up anything for my username. Wonder if it's different for other instances?

    Edit: Kagi actually does show some threads I've participated in by enabling the "Fediverse Forums" filter

    Not surprising considering those challenges against AI scrapers likely also effect Search Engine crawlers. Stuff can get through if it's federated on other servers that don't have such measures but if you don't participate in communities on those instances it's less likely.
