Drive we are so privacy focused here. What is to prevent myself or anybody out there, from starting to report individual instances of GDPR and CCPA.

No lemmy insurances are complying with national privacy laws and nobody is talking about it at all.

    There is no taking back what you post on the internet, but with activity pub it’s almost guaranteed to not have been processed.

    This is a bug, not the intended design with federation.

    Pretty sure your deletion issues was due to the federation issues that Lemmy was experiencing before the latest round of patches. I’ve had issues where federation didn’t even publish my comment to other instances.

    I am sure once all the bugs get ironed out, these deletion issues will go away.

      This is one reason I think there needs to be a public issue tracker and backlog.

      If issues deleting data is a known issue, that means it is known Lemmy / instances cannot comply with right to be forgotten requests. I think there are also rules around informing people who have made requests why you are not taking action, how they make a complaint (in UK this is to the ICO), and that they have a right to get this enforced though legal proceedings.

      It feels like it’s not just some elements not complying, it’s like a stack of things that just goes on and on!

          Awesome, thank you so much! I didn’t know :)

          Hopefully there can be a mechanism so that anyone who is an admin or controlling data in instances knows about it and regularly is alerted to any issue which might impact GDPR compliance.

            I am sure these things will get hammered out in time by the devs and the open source community in the main Lemmy source code or as a separate project. Contrary to what OP thinks, people ARE talking about it and the people building the Fediverse are aware.

              Absolutely, it is just surprising there has not been quicker action given the severity of the potential consequences.

              Hopefully all will be well!

                It’s only been a few weeks since the redditpocalypse and the devs are busy fixing scaling bugs to handle the crazy influx of new users. Most of the deletion issues are simply due to bugs in the code creating more load than there should be, which in turn breaks or delays federation. I think getting the scaling issues out of the way first will provide a solid foundation to fix these other bugs, and given how well lemmy.world is performing with the recent 0.18.1 update, progress is definitely moving at a fast pace!

                  Absolutely, sorry I don’t mean to sound like I am arguing with you - sorry if it comes across like that! I agree completely with what you’ve said and you’ve been really helpful with things I didn’t know about. I’m loving Lemmy and want it to succeed and I’m just coming from a place of genuine concern and wanting to see the discussions had, especially where I have dealt with these issues in passing in my day job!

                    Oh not at all! I totally took this comment thread as just a legit discussion, not an argument, so you’re good. I hope I didn’t sound like I was making a rebuttal. I was just trying to give more info and context, that’s all!

                    Lol, tone over text is just hard to convey properly isn’t it? Probably doesn’t help that Internet culture is neck deep in trolling and stirring up unnecessary controversy and drama.
