Questions about anonymity on lemmy.world servers (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to understand how safe it is to use an account on lemmy.world to post dissenting opinions regarding the U.S. government. I have three questions:

If a subpoena is issued for IP records for a user or their comments, will all historical IP data be available to provide?
Is there a time limit on how long IP records are kept?
When a user deletes their account on lemmy.world, are their comments and/or IP records also deleted?

I suggest using internet access at public libraries or a dedicated, anonymized, linux based (Tails) laptop and connect to public wifi access points. Coffee shops with outside seating and only outdoor cameras are a good choice.
