Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I’m still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

    Even if it’s fixed, there’s nothing stopping anyone from running an instance with the delete functions turned off. Or making their own app that mingles with ActivityPub and uses federation to scrape data.

        I’m not worried about it. The “Legal” page of my Lemmy instance even spells out that anything posted on it is likely permanent.

        I’m just pointing out that the issue being fixed doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t still a concern to someone.
