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 don’t expect my data to be fully deleted in a centralized system either. even if it was deleted from the central server someone might have made an archive of it

    and reddit is definitely guilty of this since they were bringing back peoples deleted comments and accounts
