In other words, can any user delete its data on its will and is there something that will remove its data from all the connected activitypub services? I believe this should actually be a basic feature and pretty much a requirement.

    Basically, the right to be forgotten? Afaik, on Reddit you have scripts to erase all message and rewrite/redact them with nonsense.

    I assume something similar may exist for Lemmy, Piefed, etc.

      I believed we were better than Reddit… I truly believe this should be a BASIC feature. On Reddit you have to manually delete every single post, if you forget to do that basically your entire posts and comments history will be online forever…

      I know there’s still internet archive ecc ecc ecc, but still I believe this should just be an activitypub feature, not something to be managed by single platforms.
