This should be a pretty basic feature, just not having a private message be there anymore. But for some reason that does not work here?

I tried searching for this. I found a year old open issue on GitHub and some reddit users complaining about this very issue.

Talking with some people in the comments here, it seems like some people don’t understand that one might not want a message to be in their face. Or the idea that just because something could be recovered doesn’t mean we should treat it as an absolute

    I do always assume any content I put out is out there forever.

    This argument “other people do it wrong, and it can’t be guaranteed perfect” is not a good excuse to be negligent with people’s data.

      I don’t care for the argument one way or another; I’m not an EU resident and the whole thing is irrelevant to me as an individual.

      I’m merely pointing out neither the Fediverse/Lemmy/etc. nor Reddit as a platform cares for EU’s privacy concerns, and people should be well informed when entering either platforms, so they’re not doing so with the false sense of security that they’d be able to exercise those government granted rights effectively.
