Hello fellow Lemmings!

Title. Is it possible for Lemmy to abide by the GDPR given that you can't delete info from other instances?

Yes, because the same argument can be said with virtually any other website ever that gets cached. Does GDPR no longer exist because InternetArchive, or Google caches your data? When data leaves your server, it's simply out of your hands, and it's impossible to prevent in the current state of the web.

'Impossible' does not change the law, but maybe it tells you what you should (not) start doing

What, redesign the entire internet? Let me know if you're the first one to invent a way to stop data scraping and caching lmao. That is by design of the internet.
