The political views of the main devs are controversial but it doesn’t really matter since Lemmy is free and open source. No one owns or runs it. Only lemmy.ml specifically is run by the devs.
What about privacy? Will the devs only get your info if you are a part of Lemmy.ml?
I don’t understand this question. This is a public platform, there are no secret messages or info. What do you mean by privacy? Hide what from whom?
Look at my other comment with the link. It’s saying that even if you delete your account the only thing that happens is that you can’t access it anymore but every comment and data is still in the database
What about The Internet Archive? Search engines cache? Copies made by other people? etc.
This is a public platform; don’t share things you don’t want to be shared. You can’t truly expect anything being deleted forever everywhere.
I mean, we can absolutely want that. And data farming is bad. Just objectively. Having a conversation in a public area irl isn’t consent to being recorded (not that it is always illegal to do so). And Why should it be on the internet? If the delete option doesn’t actually delete anything, it should clearly reflect that. I have no idea why you would argue against user control of their data.
But you don’t need consent to record someone in public. If you want to have a private conversation, then have a private conversation. Having a conversation in public and expecting it to remain private is over entitlement in my opinion. You have absolutely no expectation to privacy in a public space, nor should you.
This is how every website on the internet works. It’s why they say everything is permanent on the internet.
If you don’t want it there don’t post it. The internet is scraped and copied and backed up. You can ask for it to be deleted but the company likely doesn’t own every copy.
