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.

Lemmy is GDPR compliant, as far as I know.
Admins can entirely purge you off their instance, should you ask them to, and other servers do not store any personal details that GDPR would require be deletable. By most interpretations.
It can be argued that previously federated data that is now out of reach and as such cannot be deleted, could constitute a breach of GDPR.

There’s not just ignoring the request.
An instance can simply be offline when the request is made. Or be defederated.

Does Lemmy even need to be gdpr compliment? It’s not a company, it’s private individuals.

It doesn’t apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 ©. For shits and giggles would fall under that.
