▲ 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
[–] Prunebutt@feddit.de 1 point 3 years ago That's a strawman. No one demands mind-altering powers. Records to be deleted: that's another story. Being able to delete tweets doesn't stop people from screengrabbing them. It's still good that the option exists. permalink fedilink source parent
