I just fall on this and didn’t know you can’t remove stuff from lemmy.

I’m not touchy about privacy, but am I the only one to find this disturbing?

EDIT: Thanks to @solidgrue, I realize ActivePub (the protocol under Lemmy) actually support content deletion. It’s mostly to the instances to choose to honor it or not, which make sense.

    Anything that is posted that is publicly viewable on the internet, cannot be deleted. Full stop, end of sentence. It may be deleted from the original service, but it will have been archived by services elsewhere within hours (or more likely minutes).

    Any service that promises the ability to delete public posts is selling false privacy.
