Federated services have always had privacy issues but I expected Lemmy would have the fewest, but it’s visibly worse for privacy than even Reddit.
- Deleted comments remain on the server but hidden to non-admins, the username remains visible
- Deleted account usernames remain visible too
- Anything remains visible on federated servers!
- When you delete your account, media does not get deleted on any server
That’s a strawman. No one demands mind-altering powers. Records to be deleted: that’s another story.
Being able to delete tweets doesn’t stop people from screengrabbing them. It’s still good that the option exists.
