Nightmare on Lemmy St - A GDPR Horror Story
Nightmare on Lemmy Street (A Fediverse GDPR Horror Story)

This is (also) a horror story about accidentally uploading very sensitive data to Lemmy, and the (surprisingly) difficult task of deleting it.

Hi, unfortunate author here ๐Ÿ˜…

The issue happened in Jerboa. I opened a few tickets in the Jerboa app's GitHub to address this:

Can you please tell us which Lemmy client apps you use that store the delete token and have a UI to delete uploaded images?

    Boost does, under settings, general, uploaded images. Here is mine:
    boost uploaded images list

    I can delete them there (or forfeit the ability to do so)

    Very nice. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Boost is available on F-Droid.

    Yeah. It uses google ad-mob, or if you purchase it needs the google play store app to verify that and deactivate ad-mob.
    A way to purchase it without going through gplay would fix this, and probably means it could be published on fdroid in a premium-only version at least. I've been meaning to ask @rmayayo@lemmy.world about the feasibility of that for a while now. It's bothered me for years now, but I simply couldn't find an alternative so far (neither back on reddit in the days).
