▲ 157 ▼ Mastodon thinks Lemmy’s privacy stinks. What say you? (raddle.me) submitted 3 years ago by elbowmacaroni@beehaw.org to c/technology@beehaw.org 282 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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

It would be better if instances propagated delete requests to the fullest extent possible so that that information would be as hard as possible to find. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Moderation is a separate matter entirely. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rothaine@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Not if deletes don't propagate well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 point 3 years ago Propagating deletes is a request from one moderator to another moderator.
