A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Here is the title of the Raffle post that was linked: "Warning: Lemmy doesn't care about your privacy, everything is tracked and stored forever, even if you delete it".
But wouldn't Mastodon instances be able to automatically backup posts, comments, edits, and deletions? Hell, users would be able to do it too yeah?
The whole idea of this being a privacy issue kind of goes against the whole internet archival movement and is really a moot point.
I can see this maybe being a problem with privacy regulations though.
