for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?

Yes. I loved Reddit for a LONG time. They started to crumble in my opinion when the added these Snooavatars, which later turned into a NFT scheme. I never bothered with these. The promise of the website was awesome though. Being able to follow interests and communities instead of people was a completely new concept, which I had never seen before. Now it feels like the corporate greed has finally completely taken over.

Time to jump ship.

Lemmy, privacy and potential GDPR violations

Messages are never deleted, only hidden, a GDPR violation

This is partly true. Messages are not really deleted until you delete your account.

Deleted usernames are also not deleted, only hidden, same thing

This is true

Stuff remains on federated servers even if you delete it

If everything works according to plan it should be gone, though there might be cases, where some instances don't update.

These question were also answered in this github issue.

EDIT: Imho this should be changed. At least the first two points. It does not need to be 100% foolproof on other instances, as they may be down when the deletion happens, but I think that the instance, which hosts the content should NOT have the content after deletion. Another idea would be to edit comments / posts to just say "[removed]".

I also selfhost forgejo and im really happy with it. (I moved from GitLab.) Personally I cant wait for federation (which GitLab is also working on). If it were so be implemented, then ppl could actually contribute so projects on selfhosted git servers, which I am really looking forward so.

Ich gebe dir zwar Recht, dass es einem Persönlich helfen kann, nicht in die Kommentare und auf TikTok zu gucken, aber leider hilft dies nicht den Diskurs zu verbessern.

Dieser findet nun halt auch auf TikTok bzw. YT statt und ihn einfach zu ignorieren wäre mMn ein großer Fehler, da dies den Echo Chamber-Effekt verstärken würde.
