| Nightmare on Lemmy Street (A Fediverse GDPR Horror Story) |
This is (also) a horror story about accidentally uploading very sensitive data to Lemmy, and the (surprisingly) difficult task of deleting it.
Fortunately, in my case, my image was "orphaned" and never actually attached to a post or comment, so it wouldn't have federated.
If the image has already federated then that's a whole next level problem :(
