A tool for concealing writing style to evade linguistic fingerprinting (lemmy.world)

Source code and details: https://git.anarchists.space/nemesis/Lingunymous

Everyone has a unique writing style, word choice, sentence structure, punctuation habits and that can be used to identify them. Lingunymous rewrites your text using a local LLM to mask these patterns, making it harder to attribute writing to a specific individual.

Use cases include:

Protecting anonymity when publishing sensitive or controversial content
Evading authorship attribution and stylometric analysis
Separating your personal writing fingerprint from pseudonymous accounts
