Privacy questions about Lemmy
Privacy questions about Lemmy
What information does a Lemmy server collect about its users?
When I delete a comment or post, is it truly deleted on the server?
Do deletions also propagate to federated servers?
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm going to delete this comment.
That comment is still showing normally for me and isn't flagged as "deleted" in the DB.
I've had to restart my instance and block a spammy IP. I'm still learning how the rate limits work in lemmy, and my server logs were just flooded with
rate_limit_errors for the last 45 minutes or so. Finally just blocked that IP as its traffic pattern didn't match any other Lemmy servers/clients. That said, my server may have missed some announcement messages or something. I dunno.On another note, I did leave a comment somewhere the other day and deleted it because I realized I sounded stupid. Someone replied to it a day later. I also deleted, restored, and re-deleted a test comment in this thread that someone else said was still visible, so I'm guessing that one of a few things could be the case:
- Sometimes comment/post deletions don't federate out/in
- There could be something up with my instance
- There's some other factor at play.
- There's a bug somewhere
I've got to get to bed, so that's as far as I dive into this tonight.
Thanks for working on this!
