Honeypot to see what accounts are tested in sequence? ;-)
I turned off nginx logging if that makes you feel any better. Of course there's no way for you to verify that because I'm just a random guy on the internet but I will tell you that I am a civic minded citizen who is concerned about privacy and the Internet.
Anything like this for Reddit? Would translating to other language and back defend against this algorithm?

Yes. But then you have to send your original comment to a translation…
Given the technique used, I don't see why something simple and local wouldn't defeat it? The "easiest" technique would be to use this weighting as a negative metric in rewriting.

> Based on some of the feedback I'm getting here I don't know if I should open source this even though it really wasn't that hard to make. I'd say you should. I'd rather see this as being publicly and freely available to everyone rather than some shady "Big Tech" analytics company. If the "weapons" exist, I would feel more comfortable knowing everyone can access them, not just an elite that can use it for their own (…
Ingenious idea. At the very least, this is just about finding people who write like us, the same way we seek those with similar tastes (music...) How long before large commercial indexers start offering an efficient (AI based ?) stylometry to agencies and states ? wait... do you think the NSA is already doing this?
They would be silly not to ( apart from creepish profiling of an entire globe population you also get to potentially identify bots ). We all have mannerisms that can easily 'betray us' online. I honestly thought my writing style is more unique, but as it turns out it is somewhat common.
You just showed another possible use case for this kind of tools: "How unique is my writing style ?"
I ever had only one account here and the closest match is at 0.47.

Yeah top 20 is a little excessive because in my own tests I found that top 20 is only marginally more accurate than top 10. You can get a more academic explanation [here]( https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09296174.2011.53... ). I was amazed too because it seemed too easy!
FWIW, top 20 was necessary for mine. The bolding was a brilliant move. Several of my accounts were ranked 10-20, but popped out due to the bolding.
nice one. are you using gpt3 under the hood?
I'm not that smart - my site is basically just doing some calculations on word frequencies. You can read https://academic.oup.com/dsh/article-abstract/17/3/267/92927... and https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09296174.2011.53... and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755898 for more information.
I can’t get over how phenomenal this is. Please put every one of your side project ideas into production!
pretty cool- i think there should be a term for two accounts that have each other as the top most similar account. kinda sad i dont have one :(
I am afraid to combine all these methods
