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

    That’s probably because the Lemmy dev’s “politics” are beliefs that have no place in a civilized society. Luckily, Lemmy itself and the fediverse writ large don’t have any relationship to those beliefs.

      True, and I agree. Thing is, I don’t think the raddle base is willing to look past that, or consider how federation makes the dev’s beliefs largely meaningless outside of the server he moderates.

        100% agree

        It’s funny, they commenter in that chain are calling out Lemmy users for being blind to dev-related issues, but they demonstrate a strong myopic slant on their own assessment of the landscape.
