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

That said, I think it’s funny that anarkiddies rallying against federation and preferring to use a centralized service like raddle is very funny.

I was thinking that. I can understand disliking lemmy for its developer, but then making it a call against federated media seems strange, as someone who also considers themselves an anarchist.
