How does Lemmy deal with deletion requests for banned accounts? There does not appear to be any built in functionality to make this possible which makes compliance with the law more difficult.

    Hrm, open an issue on the github if you would.

    Deleting your own account overwrites all your content in the DB with dummy data.

    Purging is an activity done by admins that does an actual database delete. It’s very dangerous and should only be done in extreme cases.

        You mean like an account export? We have an open issue for that, but its not completed yet.
