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
  • BitOneZero@beehaw.org

    For example on this comment page there are 9 domains trying to connect directly to me according to ublock origin.

    ublock origin isn’t a firewall. They aren’t connecting inbound to your system, you are loading content from those servers.
