Comment on Fedia.io is shutting down (and re-opening as a Lemmy instance)

Well they don’t have control over the posts anymore cuz the request would have to be sent out from the original server, but they always could ask a mod/admin if they wanted to delete something

for posts all the posts made to a federated community or a local community that has been federated by another instance should be saved by that other instance, however I’m not sure what it would mean for someone trying to subscribe to a community hosted on fedia.io from another instance. The only problem would be image uploads, since those aren’t stored on the federated servers (except for cached versions)

So the entire Fediverse is illegal throughout EU under GDPR Article 17 then? That seems way too major of an issue that this was just overlooked when developing the protocol.

  This topic has been brought quite a few times earlier.
  
  When you close your Gmail or Outlook email account, can you ask Google or Microsoft to ensure that copies of your emails are deleted to all the recipients you ever sent emails to?

    That comparison makes no sense. e-mail is no public forum. In case I’ve mailed a mailing list and the archive is public, I have only the mailing list owner to ask for deletion from the archive. Private mails cannot legally be published.

    I think this will end up being the same case as things that end up on search engines. I.e. you’ll need to send hundreds of right to be forgotten requests to every service.

    GDPR isn’t specific to public forums.

  No. The servers that host your account comply with GDPR. If you post something on reddit and, for example, archive.org scrapes the post, reddit is not responsible for that. Adding to that, there is no personal information transmitted between Lemmy servers, only the name of your account and the content of the post.

    But ActivityPub is push-based. Each Lemmy server is actively pushing its content to other servers that house subscribers.
