Did the privacy concerns have been updated/planned for update? (self.fediverse)

I just fall on this and didn't know you can't remove stuff from lemmy.

I'm not touchy about privacy, but am I the only one to find this disturbing?

EDIT: Thanks to @solidgrue, I realize ActivePub (the protocol under Lemmy) actually support content deletion. It's mostly to the instances to choose to honor it or not, which make sense.

Would this not be similar to expecting an email to be deleted of everyones server when you delete it on your local server?

Honestly, I would find it more disturbing if I run a server/instance, and someone could delete something on my server/instance.

As for GDPR, I guess you would have to request the data to be deleted for every instance it got send to. I don't think it would be on the creator of the software/protocol to enable something like this for the entire fediverse (agian same as email). I'm not an expert however, so take this with a grain of salt.
