If things don’t get anymore fishier regarding Pixelfed.social , the developer of the application who has refused to respond to me on the @pixelfed account and on their personal account @dansup during the past week has BLOCKED ME instead of providing any proof of why my account shows on federated instances after deleting said account (and deleting posts before deleting the account). I have no access to it anymore.
@ButterflyOfFire@pixelfed@dansup@trumpet I deleted a handful of Mastodon accounts in the past and none of them had posts (or media or bios) after deleting them after weeks of deleting the account.
And these were ranging from small unknown instances to mastodon.social.
Blocking every user on it because they complained or assumed something. Maybe all my assumptions are wrong. Again, I don’t know all of these tech stuff.
@ButterflyOfFire@pixelfed@dansup@trumpet I don’t know but I remember a lot of users on Mastodon attacking me for Pixelfed being so sketchy and that I simply “don’t know” how federation works.
I’d like to report suspicious activity going on with @pixelfed whereby I think they are collecting user data. I deleted my account one weak ago and despite my deletion where my account no longer shows on pixelfed.social , it is still showing on federated instances.
I deleted my account a week ago (and deleted all my posts using the Pixelfed application on the iPhone) but they still show on the Mastodon, Mammoth and Ivory.
I can no longer log in to my account neither on the Pixelfed application nor their website. They both tell me that my account doesn’t match the credentials.
I contacted @pixelfed and the developer @dansup over several days with no avail. I got no reply from either.
For those who are curious, my account on Pixelfed is @intothetilian .
Overall I would advise anyone to AVOID using Pixelfed due to suspicious activity.
I would like from @trumpet to deferate from this instance.
@pixelfed@dansup@intothetilian@trumpet Please change it from “some of your data” (by that I mean the etc) to ALL OF YOUR DATA because all of my data is still there, including posts, comments, avatars and bio. And please “there is no way you can delete your data from said servers, even if you do it manually until federation support is launched.”
I deleted all my posts manually before deleting the account. I’m sorry but all of this is sketchy as fuck.
@narF@intothetilian@trumpet I contacted the server’s admin 3 days ago (and app developer) manually and I didn’t get a reply. I then contacted their official page.
Both got me no replies. Now the developer straight out blocked me because their page doesn’t specify that these servers might have my deleted posts (those that I have deleted manually before I deleted my account).
@narF@intothetilian@trumpet and it’s so funny that I got a reply when I went full offensive whereas my previous interactions where I asked politely were in vain.
This individual behaves a lot like these big cooperations. Very sketchy stuff.
@narF@intothetilian I deleted handful of Mastodon accounts on many other instances before and not a single one had my deleted data for that long after deletion. Sometimes it would take a day or two, nothing more.
Also as mentioned, the behavior and the lack of response of the developer (contacted twice) made me reach such conclusions.
