      As all sites should be. I’m on the internet, mr world wide. When did we expect privacy. Don’t put nothing online you don’t want the world to know.

        I used to think like this, but it’s a bit more nuanced./ If you tell people they can’t have any expectation of privacy, it’s essentially telling people of persecuted minorities that they’re not welcome.

        Perfect privacy is impossible, but it shouldn’t be trivial to violate someone’s privacy when their membership of such a community is relevant.

      Reddit isn’t privacy-safe either.

      I’d put less bots/more legitimate users as a benefit of lemmy instead of privacy though.

            Sure, but the deletion is also mirrored to the other instances no?

            EDIT: I suppose it should be alright if you mention in your privacy policy that if you interact with other instances their privacy policies apply as well.

                Yeah, but companies can also “choose” to ignore GDPR requests. I don’t think talking about instances not following the spec and deleting things when requested is relevant.

              Under normal circumstances. But there could be federation issues, or someone could run a custom version that just ignores all deletion requests.

              I’m unsure if that’s considered part of the diligence required in Europe.

              Edit: does that even apply to public forums such as this? I have always treated it all as if it’s public forever.

      To be honest, privacy is not a major concern of mine and wasn’t a factor in my decision making at all. Things like messages not being e2e encrypted don’t really bother me that much.

        not having e2ee bothers me on private 1on1 chat apps.

        i don’t expect it on lemmy though.
