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
Eh. Often times I want to delete it particularly on reddit or some other place. Just so that it doesn’t hang on my profile
Well, reddit doesn’t actually allow you to delete things anymore, so tough luck.
Do you think about Reddit “undeleting” posts? The reason for this is that your posts in privated subs make them disappear from your profile. So when they go public again, they are there.
When did that happen?
