On that note, time for another lesson.

You can't trust relays. That's not how I leaked people's IPs, but they are absolutely a vector for that.

And if you post with more than one account without changing your IP first, anyone with access to the relay logs can connect your accounts to each other.

Here's some folks casually discussing using this flaw to silence this disruptive account. ZERO-TRUST!!! Nobody is your friend. People want your PII for a million reasons, so protect yourself!

If you or someone you know has access to relay logs, you could determine if he shares an IP with the bots.

I usually suspect these characters of being empty braggarts. The level of skill required to set up follow bots is very low, but still too high for most of these...
