Should i repost this to any other /c/'s meant for this kind of things ?
EDIT: In case anyone don't understand what this is it is an issue raised by someone on lemmy git that when an account is deleted or banned it should also delete the data the data posted by the user. And one of the main dev nutomic is blowing it of like it won't affect me and maltfield is remainding him that it is illegal under the EU law and it also affects lemmy and moreover it is not ethical or moral . And i thought that was what lemmy was built on privacy, ethics and morals now i am dissapointed.
EDIT : For everyone saying there is no way i am not really ap roggrammer or anything but couldn't this work :
They could just roll it out on a new version and i think most instances won't mod it to remove that maybe some oddball ones will but not most. I know saved copies will be there but who cares no one is saving my 1000 comments but that is not the case with this .
It is copy pasted from one of my replies.
EDIT: Also it is not my intention to point finger to lemmy devs and i can differentiate their political stance and their work my only intention was to see that if this post gained enough traction they will reply or fix the issue.
EDIT : Relevant comment from @NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de about what if other instance don't delete your data.
So maybe those instances are breaking the law, but Lemmy by default should comply. You could say the exact same thing about any social media - scrapers can and do archive everything they can - but that doesn’t absolve the original platforms (e.g. Twitter) from having to follow the law.
EDIT : As just a person i can't do anything about it but i am certain if everybody pitch in the lemmy devs will listen and even though everyone seems to hate lemmy devs political stance i can differentiate with politics and their work and i find @Dessalines@lemmy.ml to be very responsive so i am gonna mention him and see what he thinks about it instead of trashing lemmy devs on speculation (i don't know nutomic's id) even though i don't agree wuth nutomic's response in this case i don't share the views of many people in the comments and don't associate this post with them.
EDIT : I just want an option to purge my data when deleting an account that you can enable or disable.
I think it should be an option to delete post and comment history upon account deletion, but by no means the rule. I hate finding swiss cheese threads on social media. Part of commenting on a platform like this is contributing your voice to the value of an overall discussion, and revoking that contribution is frequently more obnoxious for your fellow users than it is beneficial to you.
See the thing us, EU data privacy and protection laws don't really give a shit though
You feeling unhappy that chunks of a thread are missing due to someone requesting a data privacy wipe isn't, you know, a factor that matters
I'm sure you really wanted to know what so-and-so said, but the lack of their posts existing means they didnt want you to know what they said
And, you know... they have the right to do that.
I agree with you not everyone lives to serve OP
I think they're saying you should have the option to delete your account and leave history intact, or delete your account and remove all history.
The two acts should be distinct for sure.
You should be also able to delete all history without deleting account.
Basically should be 2 distinct buttons/actions entirely.
