     Sounds like it's rather easy to do something similar with XMPP, GNU Social and other free software decentralized communication networks too...

     @arunisaac xmpp yes, gnusocial does not tell if you are online or not. anyway designers/programmers should take it into account.

     GNU Social does indicate when each post was posted. So, that can be used to infer possible timezone, sleeping time, etc.

     @arunisaac but it the person doesn't post you don't know. Other protocols tell you if it's connected in real time without user intervention.

     Yes, I agree you can't tell if a user is connected in real time. But, I'm just saying that there is other information leaked by GNU Social that could potentially be used by a malicious actor.

     @arunisaac Absolutely. There's no social that doesn't leak some information, the problem is how much and who can access to it.
