Hello fellow Lemmings!

Title. Is it possible for Lemmy to abide by the GDPR given that you can’t delete info from other instances?

    Well, think about some similar situations.

    If you post something on a public website and it gets indexed by search engines, how does that work? Or how about sending email to a mailing list that subsequently sends it on to all the recipients?

    In each case those organisations would likely be data controllers rather than processers, so would need a privacy policy, decide on their legitimate basis for processing, mechanisms to handle SAR/RTBF/etc. My guess is Lemmy servers would need the same thing.
