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

There's long dead people's very private letters and diaries in museum's and public archives. Really available on the internet now. So that's not even a failing of the internet, if you write something people find interesting, they'll find a way to preserve it.

I'm not sure how they think the fesiverse will be the one to solve that.
