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.

    Always best to assume online that anything you post anywhere is imortalized forever. However for a decentralized platform I hope this is just negligence and not malice.

    Edit: other comments using the email analogy explain this is just due to decentralization making global deletion impractical.
