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

Nothing about how lemmy or the fediverse platforms work has anything to do with blockchains. Don't conflate "decentralization" to include blockchain. Torrents are also decentralized and have nothing to do with blockchains.
