This is (also) a horror story about accidentally uploading very sensitive data to Lemmy, and the (surprisingly) difficult task of deleting it.
Did you read the article and the feedback that you've received from your other users?
Any FOSS platform has capacity issues. I run my own FOSS projects with zero grant funds and where I'm the only developer. I understand this issue.
What we're talking about here is prioritization. My point is that you should not prioritize "new features" when existing features are a legal, moral, and grave financial risk to your community. And this isn't just "my priority" -- it's clearly been shown that this is the desired priority of your community.
Please prioritize your GDPR issues.
I bet your project doesnt have 50.000 monthly users so its not comparable at all. Out of all these users only you and one or two others care so much about GDPR (yet not enough to make actual contributions yourself). We really cant change our priorities for a single user out of thousands.
