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
  • BurnedDonutHole

    Exactly my thoughts. People looking for privacy on these public forums/platforms with o real audit or checks in place is really ironic in my opinion.
