Warning: Lemmy doesn't care about your privacy, everything is tracked and stored forever, even if you delete it
raddle.me

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?
