Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I’m still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

    I’m still not sure why would anyone expect privacy on a distributed public forum and how would this even work.

        Even if it’s fixed, there’s nothing stopping anyone from running an instance with the delete functions turned off. Or making their own app that mingles with ActivityPub and uses federation to scrape data.

            I’m not worried about it. The “Legal” page of my Lemmy instance even spells out that anything posted on it is likely permanent.

            I’m just pointing out that the issue being fixed doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t still a concern to someone.

              So that statement (image) satisfies the GDPR in the EU you think?

              I’m not in the EU, nor a lawyer, just curious about how privacy requirements are handled on a global scale.
