MODERATORS
Lemmy is GDPR compliant, as far as I know.
Admins can entirely purge you off their instance, should you ask them to, and other servers do not store any personal details that GDPR would require be deletable. By most interpretations.
It can be argued that previously federated data that is now out of reach and as such cannot be deleted, could constitute a breach of GDPR.
Personal data posted by the user also falls into this, so they might have to force deleting on any instance hosted by organizations. Individuals or small teams running instances which don't take money don't need to comply to GDPR.
Are you sure about that? So if I hosted a website that shows your name and address, you could do nothing to make me take it down because I'm not an organisation or company?
