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
I don’t even understand why the OP calls this “Mastodon’s” opinion. The link doesn’t go to Mastodon. I think the parent post is being a bit of a troll honestly :( The criticisms at the link don’t make sense, the person posting the link doesn’t seem to think the criticisms are good, and they attribute the criticism to Mastodon while posting “Raddle”. It’s like they’re only doing this to get everybody riled up
