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.

Does Lemmy even need to be gdpr compliment? It’s not a company, it’s private individuals.
This isn’t true since your single user instance is federated. For example, this comment is going to end up on your instance, and it could have my personal data.
edit: here’s a meta-link to this comment on your instance: https://lemmy.cwagner.me/comment/2786 – despite it originating from lemmy.one and the post being lemmy.ml from a user on lemmy.world (interestingly every person involved in this interaction is on a different instance)
It doesn’t apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 ©. For shits and giggles would fall under that.
