MODERATORS
I'm not sure, but I've heard that some instances log IPs.
if theyre smart, they dump their logs regularly. i think my instance is 36 hours. that data is a liability.
I think they all do in the logs.
Does each comment store the user’s IP address as well? (Like it would on other forum software?)
The Lemmy software seems to only store IPs for login tokens (i.e. on login).
It's likely many instances store IPs short term in access logs as well.
