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
Hey 👋 I know you. Hehe.
And yes, it should not be hidden. It is very much unexpected, because Reddit doesn’t do it, and it’s not visible to normal users.
