Title says it. Apparently lemmy devs are not concerned with such worldly matters as privacy, or respecting international privacy laws.

It took this person 20 days to post this. They didn't create their account to post it the same day or even the next day, ergo, they figured it out after the fact.

If they really had an issue with stuff like this, why pray-tel weren't they already doing their due diligence to ensure that the service they were signing up for didn't violate the GDPR in ways they didn't like? That seems like a gross oversight by someone clearly incensed by it.

(Also, it continues to be questionable whether it's actually breaking GDPR rules, and even in that regard, it would be individual server admins responsible for enforcing GDPR compliance.)

Wow I can't believe you're criticising the policy that you agreed to when you made your account. Sounds like you need to delete your account and take that kind of talk elsewhere.

You know, it's clear you're not arguing in good faith or taking what I've said in good faith, instead of choosing the most uncharitable interpretation you can to get a "gotcha," so I think we're done here.

Also, it's not a "policy" it's literally a byproduct of how federation works. Sorry you completely fail to understand the architecture of this service and how that influences how it works. All ActivityPub services suffer from the same issue.
