raddle.me Warning: Lemmy doesn't care about your privacy, everything is tracked and stored forever, even if you delete it

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

Kinda unsurprising as rumors have it that lemmy's developed by pro-China Tankies.
3 0 ReplyThe developers will freely admit that they are Marxist-Leninists who support China. I don't get why people frame it as a rumor.
That said, that has nothing to do with this. It's just implementation details, and are on the docket to be worked on once the mission-critical stuff is out of the way.
