@lemmy Hi I am planning on joining Lemmy however I was reading about some privacy issues with the platform. I am going to share some of them and what do you think about it?
--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
If you're coming over from Reddit, you'll have less privacy worries here. I see the admin transparency as refreshing, but apples to apples Lemmy is a more private platform. You'll never have to navigate ad's or adjust to alterations in the initial game plan for Wall Street investors either!
