Warning: Lemmy doesn't care about your privacy, everything is tracked and stored forever, even if you delete it
raddle.me

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

    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.
