I think the internet at large should be viewed this way. It’s almost impossible to completely get rid of anything that isn’t under your direct and immediate control - i.e. your own personal email server. I don’t assume that Lemmy/Fediverse is any different.
That said, with the effort to be ”not Reddit” or just another social media platform ready to be potentially abused, focus should be placed on privacy and user ownership and their ability to control their data on the platform.

It’s impossible to delete anything on the internet. You can’t control everybody’s backups.

What happens on the internet stays on the internet. As in “it doesn’t go away”

Except things you desperately need 10+ years later. Those are gone.

I wish this weren’t so true 😭
Why is it always the trash that gets preserved??
