(101,403 posts)I've always listed my location on DU as 'England' since I think that gives necessary context for my opinions, but I don't feel like giving more information that might identify me if I don't want to be. And I post from a laptop, and use Twitter's own web pages when I (rarely) post there. So by the article's first two metrics, I could well be a Russian troll.
Or, it's not that useful after all.
