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
  • iuseit@iusearchlinux.fyi

    Personally when I want to share what I’m saying with the world I write a letter, burn it, and snort the ashes. This is the only truly private way to do this.
