People kinda don't talk about this enough, but the fediverse is kind of "very permanent".
Even within default Lemmy, comment deletion just makes it invisible, if you undelete you'll see the original content.
One can make a "Lemmy server" or any other compatible software, get all of our federated content, and never honor any delete requests. Posting on Lemmy is much more like a listserv than reddit, once it's out there it's not really coming back.
Edit: also up votes are actually public, if someone has a server or client they can just show who up voted on content like insta or whatever it if they want. They are just hidden in the Lemmy frontend, but once again, the servers know.
Wait, fucking really??? All that loserposting i've done across 4-6 accounts is just etched deep into the internet?? Would have rethought my use of this site across the years if I knew that...
Ah well, guess from now on I'll just try to honor the name of this new account and live as a digital ghost in the background. We had some good times while they lasted, hexbear
Nobody gives a shit about what we post here just be careful about details and cycle accounts every year or two
That's actually really bad lol. Do the devs maybe want to change this? I feel like it would be a good change.
Or is it basically impossible with each site having their own version of lemmy being run?
What we could do is allowlist instances with the admins doing some sort of auditing of federated servers, but even that's a bit tough.
it’s inherent to the nature of federation
