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

Probably in the sense that if it's not me that posted it, then I don't have any way of truly remove it (which I think is against the EU's laws).

What I can think of right off the top of my head is revenge porn and doxxing. Furthermore there's also the right to be forgotten.
