Lemmy's Image Problem
wedistribute.org
The popular Reddit alternative's user count has grown a lot over the past year. One problem, though: users and admins can't delete images.

Highlighting the recent report of users and admins being unable to delete images, and how Trust & Safety tooling is currently lacking.

    Ah, I see. You’re answering your own questions with the answers you like. Do you even need me to agree with yourself?

    Let me guess: “no”.

    If you want to read your opinion typed by somebody else, I suggest you get a secretary. I’m not here to indulge in your fantasy.

      Of course the Lemmy devs aren’t liable for GDPR violations; the admins are. That doesn’t eliminate the problem, though: if the Lemmy devs wish to see their software used as it is now in the long term, they need to introduce GDPR compliance tools. We should consider it gravely concerning that bad actors (e.g., a Reddit employee) can set up Lemmy admins for a massive GDPR suit at any moment.

      Edit:

      if the people complaining are so concerned, why do they not contribute the code to fix their perceived issues?

      I know it’s a stereotype around here, but not everybody on Lemmy is a programmer with free time.

      Ah, so now that it is really plainly explained and you have no arguments (since you never did) you start complaining and poisoning the discussion. Good job.
