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
i think OP may have mistaken Raddle for a mastodon instance of some kind, idk
deleted by creator
It’s not even a correct point. Deleting your Lemmy account will actually delete all your data. Also, there was a change put through two days ago I think to have individual deleted comments purged after 30 days. Of course, both these features depend on other federated servers to behave properly and honour those requests.
