I’ve been sent this article about privacy on Lemmy and I would like to have more opinions about it.

I come from the Matrix world where there is no history deletion neither but at least everything is encrypted.

Can we hope anything about privacy on Lemmy ?
Especially with all the attention it’s getting right now.

    Privacy is tricky. I’ve seen complaints that anything you post stays forever. But honestly, is that what you consider private?

    Do you think it’s more private to make and delete posts than to just use a VPN and an anonymous account? Having the ability to delete posts doesn’t help your privacy at all. At least there’s no advertisers being sold all our data.
