Mastodon thinks Lemmy’s privacy stinks. What say you?
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

Did anyone use reddit thinking it was private? With stuff like push shift and way back machine people shouldn't be posting stuff they aren't comfortable sharing anyways on a wide open message board.
Always weirded me out the people who'd treat their reddit accounts like Facebook.
So much this. I don't get why people don't remember this first thing when it comes to data storage.
But my manufactured outrage. How will I get my emotional highs now?
Yes. "The internet never forgets" is actually a thing.
