MegReally annoying that the rust threadiverse server is the one with the problematic authors :/
Hopefully a well-established fork comes along to avoid creating yet another awful BDFL situation.
Jules Enriquez@megmac Also apparently #lemmy is less privacy-safe than even reddit:

People are seemingly catching on though and shifting towards #kbin, but unfortunately it's still in early beta and has more technical problems yet to be solved.
@win8linux I mean, I saw this and I think it's probably not really malicious -- these are just kind of.. fedi problems? I've had boosts go around for days after I delete the original post on mastodon. Distributed deletion is legit a hard problem, and "admins can see your data" is tautological on any website, fedi or not.
I would be pretty shocked if kbin didn't have the same problems. I know for a fact a lot of major forum software also (at least in the past has) never really deletes things, especially for moderator actions because admins usually don't want to "be goldfish" about user abuse.
That said, I've been out of the social media/forum software game for a long time and maybe GDPR has changed that some.

@win8linux just wanted to corroborate, that distributed deletion really is a big problem. And, ultimately, you're trusting admins to do the right thing.
At least, that's my understanding of the current state of affairs. Maybe something has happened as of late.
