Lol, exactly and the CDC advisory is for 10 states

Do you have any evidence this was election interference? If not, this is speculation and a conspiracy theory.
It's scary how quickly people assume conspiracy
I'm not arguing they should be wearing masks in a polling station
I think it’s reasonable to expect people in a voting location to be clearly visible and recognizable
I agree (in most cases). I'm arguing that these folks are more likely stupid than malicious.
These raccoons were having an epic all day love making session outside my window yesterday. They're nocturnal so I guess this is the equivalent of an all-nighter and I assume the masks are a kink ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Every 30 mins they'd venture out of the dead tree's hollow and start up again. Putting the wild in wildlife. Awww, to be young again...
The arguments I've heard about tracking etc are misguided and don't understand the actual risks.
Firstly, posts on the fediverse are already likely being consumed by advertising platforms like Facebook & Google. It would be trivial for big tech companies to setup relays that act as scrapers.
Secondly, the value in platform's tracking individuals is for advertising. There is no mechanism for these platforms to identify you browsing the we if your instance federated with threads. Your instance won't share cookie sessions etc with threads. It doesn't increase your exposure.
Thirdly, these platforms have the know how to deal with spam and they will be incentivised to share that tech with other federated instances.
Don't get me wrong, Facebook is an evil company. But I haven't heard a decent argument as to why them joining the fediverse is a bad thing. We always have the option to defederate in the future.
Change my mind.
I'm disappointed in myself
