    Hilarious but also a bit scary.

    Since these are the sorts of queries that anyone can run, what’s to stop a less-benign entity or a government agency from doing this to posts that mention, say, “abortion” or “trans rights” or “free Palestine” with the goal of doxxing people?

    Edit: I suppose it’s also naive of me to assume this isn’t already happening with any other online community that can be easily crawled, even without API access.
