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
Wait, I thought your instance will copy the media as well? For example, the image from this kbin post is also hosted by your instance here: https://lemmy.one/pictrs/image/a52b7c5e-2dcf-4864-b737-33228fb565b0.png
