That's one way to do it, I guess. For most people it's simpler: develop a second writing style and only use it online when sharing sensitive information — such as when whistleblowing or sharing pirate content. That writing style should:
Small note regarding people who speak 2+ languages: keep in mind each language you know interferes on your usage of the other languages, often in predictable ways. Even your native one. And this can be used to narrow down a bunch of profiles to who you are.
Ironically, one of the most effective methods is to use a local LLM to rewrite your text with a low temperature setting, moving your writing style to the mean of the LLM style. Erase your identity by hiding as a bot.
Wait... Unless your using a local LLM aren't you basically giving all the info your trying to hide to the spying bots?
yeah it must be local for security and privacy
