I was about to say, it’s the same system Reddit has just about, except instead of a corporation having your data, it’s just some rando with a server.
I haven’t dug into the Lemmy system at all, but would it not be possible for the server owner or other users to run a lemmy version of reveddit? Might not be a system by default, but I’d assume any system with direct access to the data can copy it over to a 3rd party no problem.
Thanks for posting this update link, nice to see the devs clarifying how stuff works - what they’ve said sounds completely reasonable to me
TL;DR: Individual post deletion is best-effort while allowing accidental delete actions to be reversed, however full account deletion is more thorough - first overwriting old posts and deleting all your uploaded media from the home instance
In case people missed it, lemmy devs reponded to this post here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977

I’m banking that the rando doesn’t have the financial incentive to sell me out.
