    …And attitudes like this towards privacy will keep Lemmy from progressing to a point where those issues will be fixed.

        I have a few suggestions for development concerns off the top of my head:

        • Scrub post metadata* after users request its deletion
        • Auto-purge deleted content* rather than letting it sit behind a “deleted” flag (something Facebook got a ton of flak for doing)
        • Auto-purge deleted media*
        • Consider seriously limiting opening data wide for scraping, since the problem is non-consensual scraping, not payment for non-consensual scraping

        * either immediately or, to prevent spam, after some time

          I agree with your first few points but I’m unsure about the scraping. This is a public forum, what could be done to mitigate scraping that wouldn’t take away form that?

      Nah it has nothing to do with attitude but with practicality. This would mean people’s fingerprints need to be public and shared between servers or some other hack. It’s just possible in any safety and its not really a hill worth dying on. Do we really care about users dodging subreddit bans that much? Its silly.
