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

With stuff like push shift and way back machine

So much this. I don't get why people don't remember this first thing when it comes to data storage.

But my manufactured outrage. How will I get my emotional highs now?
