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.

    Regarding GDPR, one thing I’ve done as an instance admin is making clear in our privacy policies that lemmy allows you to send and receive social content and interactions across the internet in a way that’s similar to email.

      I have read it now, I like it. It’s pretty much exactly the stance I took in other GDPR-Lemmy discussions. Just way more elaborate and better written. I’ll save that link for the next time it comes up :D

        Actually I think it needs a lot of work regarding wording, because it doesn’t really read as too professional. But I plan on keeping the core concept. My assumption here is that the GDPR is fine with people sending emails with details over to servers that the email provider has no control over, so the same should apply to the fediverse.
