If you have API access, just a matter of the right query for all public info. It’s how statistics analysis on Twitter are done by universities etc, at least before he made API access too expensive for them.
Resist_05 looks maybe like a disinformation amplifying account, follows dom lucre and that antisemitic warmonitors account, etc.
If the account is set to public, then yes, pretty much everything available except DMs. If you have it set to private, then no, at least not from the public APIs.
That’s fucked up. It’s not that different from leaving your browser history for the world to see when there are jokes about taking browser history to the grave.
fyi, unless something has changed (and anyone feel free to correct or update me), Mastodon is every bit as open. Last I checked, DMs aren’t even as private as on Twitter, and it’s recommended to use DMs only as a less-public direct message, and not use it for anything private that you wouldn’t want to risk getting leaked anywhere.
If you use your public tweets like a private diary you’re going to have a bad time. If this hypothetical person is ashamed of their deviant sex behaviors, don’t use Twitter.
Hell the privacy minded even say an incognito browser is still not very private.
But to claim your Twitter history is private is a bit of a stretch.
That said I don’t use Twitter so do people use it like a diary?
the shocking things isn’t so much that it’s not private per se: we expect twitter to see everything we do and “personalise our experience”… we don’t expect arbitrary people to be able to
Well it’s not a matter of just this guy, but also normal people who aren’t criminals, extremists, or politicians. While still awful, it’s one thing to use that info for profit by giving other companies access to it. It’s another thing to make it accessible to just about anyone.

This is making me wonder if he scrubbed the account not only because Elon was viewed so much, but because he had recommended that warmonitors account before deleting the post, and probably many of the others. So guilt by association as well.
You can get this info?
Someone want to say what “resist_05” is?

I’m shocked that viewing history for individual accounts is public info!

Anytime you see one of those vast Twitter connection charts between disinformation accounts that make you think of this guy
well, that’s one way how they make them.

No point asking me, I never use Twitter either.
I’m security minded which means I don’t have a fucking Twatler account.
I was already rolling my eyes at another mislabeling of anyone who criticises Israel in any way but no… this is the real thing.

You know it’s bad when Elon can’t cover it up with a 💩
