FYI there are some sites that index and archive some of the bigger lemmy instances fyi. I donβt know if this is the case for your instance but if you posted to say, lemmy.world there is a chance your post/comment is archived on a 3rd party site that you have 0 control over
Same issue reddit had, except not nearly as bad as reddit was very thoroughly archived prior to the api changes
Not really an issue. Engaging in public debate means you might be recorded. The important part is that with lemmy you can just make 10 accounts and be 10 different people unless you start doxxing yourself. Connecting your lemmy account to your digital and private person should be impossible unless law enforcement asks your hoster. But in that case you should be using other means anyway.
