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
Multiple people reported Reddit undeleted stuff they had deleted from their accounts recently …
That’s why you rewrite your old comments to actively steer people away from the site. ASCII rocket ships, Lemmy links, etc
That’s what I was thinking, do someone know if Reddit keeps logs or something?
Ive been doing daily PowerDeleteSuite cleanses of my reddit profile, stuff just keeps re-appearing
