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
  • Melmi@lemmy.blahaj.zone

    The developers will freely admit that they are Marxist-Leninists who support China. I don’t get why people frame it as a rumor.

    That said, that has nothing to do with this. It’s just implementation details, and are on the docket to be worked on once the mission-critical stuff is out of the way.
