As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR compliant? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Edit: The question “is Lemmy GDPR compliant” should mean, does the software stack provide admins with means to be GDPR compliant.

    You need the protocol to implement crosshonoring of deletion requests, which is the default now. However, that deletion request could be ignored.

    As others noted, it gets complicated if two instances defederate from each other, as the communication link which would process these requests have been severed.

      this to me is good though.

      ActivityPub takes care of it.

      this means that the fediverse is gdpr friendly.

      easier situation.

      out of curiosity, is it resistant to temporary partitions?
