Anyone know if Lemmy logs IP?

For instance say I post a guide on how to do something related to piracy...should I be concerned that my IP is being logged? I understand if it is logged it is most likely saved on the instance server I'm posting on. What I'm asking is if I should be constantly using a VPN while browsing or posting on instances?

DM_Gold,

I'm not on l.world. Even so I should be able to visit the main instance and see the top posts.

DM_Gold,

Yep, used another browser and it works fine. Weird.

YSK That if you delete your lemmy account, your comments/posts made on other instances will remain there forever.

So say I make an account on lemmy.world and post a bunch of stupid comments around other instances then decide to delete my account because I'm ashamed of them. After I delete my account, a copy of all those comments I made on other instances remain on those instances as a "shadow copy." There isn't any way to actually delete...

DM_Gold,

Yes you should be able to edit the comments. But those edited comments will remain in those other servers. Also if you make a ton of comments do you really want to edit them all?

DM_Gold,

I'm a former beehaw user and I honestly think they made the right call for their space. They want it to be safe and inclusive for everyone, so the large influx of users at l.world and s.i.j.w was leading trolls to beehaw in droves. No, they don't intend to defederate from all instances. In fact, this defederation is most likely temporary until they either get more moderators, or the other two instances settle down some.

DM_Gold,

Or, more likely, just quickly create another user and continue to harrass Blahaj. You are correct in that lemmy needs better admin tools. However, when Reddit was young it also didn't have very good admin tools. The devs probably couldn't have predicted this massive influx of users, so they didn't put as much time into the administration tools.

DM_Gold,

Honestly I hope so. I like this little corner of the internet. What the mods of beehaw do is entirely up to them. If they wish to keep themselves defederated that is fine. They know that what they did was a basic nuke to their instance. They were struggling and made the right call.
