Federated services have always had privacy issues but I expected Lemmy would have the fewest, but it’s visibly worse for privacy than even Reddit.
- Deleted comments remain on the server but hidden to non-admins, the username remains visible
 - Deleted account usernames remain visible too
 - Anything remains visible on federated servers!
 - When you delete your account, media does not get deleted on any server
 



Propagating deletes is a request from one moderator to another moderator. If the 2nd moderator doesn’t cooperate with the delete, then you have a moderation policy issue.
