I just fall on this and didn’t know you can’t remove stuff from lemmy.

I’m not touchy about privacy, but am I the only one to find this disturbing?

EDIT: Thanks to @solidgrue, I realize ActivePub (the protocol under Lemmy) actually support content deletion. It’s mostly to the instances to choose to honor it or not, which make sense.

    The Fediverse is like the internet, it is not one thing, but lots of individual “things” linked together. You can theoretically, legally ask each one to delete your stuff.

    But there is no single giant tech company you can ask that controls the whole thing and can delete content over the whole thing. This is part of the point.
