You do realize a 3 bedroom appt is like 40-60m2 over here right?

The hot and cold water thing is not common at all. A few sushi places and bars have it. But it’s quite rare tbh.

Fast my ass. Once they finally start maybe… But it takes ages to lay the first stone. There’s not enough people available to build everything they want to build. It’s a serious issue

Governments also have to comply with GDPR. They also have no commercial interest in the personal data.

Yeah, that sounds like the most correct take. I don’t think the EU will be happy with that if ActivityPub really blows up. e.g. if Threads joins the federation (and we don’t defederate from their data leeching service), that would become really really complex :)

That sounds like a good take. I have no idea if it’s correct, but it sounds reasonable.

So I’d have to contact every single instance to get rid of my data, which sounds reasonable, but is practically speaking absolutely impossible.

Lemmy just sounds like a GDPR nightmare for the EU tbh.

Not as if the GDPR cares about that specifically. Whatever excuse or justification you might have, the law still applies… Mail servers also have to comply with the law.

It seems the GDRP does not agree with you:

To what data do the EEA GDPR and the UK GDPR apply?

The EEA GDPR and the UK GDPR apply to all "personal data,” which includes any information relating to a living, identified or identifiable person. Examples include name, SSN, other identification numbers, location data, IP addresses, online cookies, images, email addresses, and content generated by the data subject.

No idea. That’s why I am asking.

I just feel that if Lemmy keeps growing, the EU will eventually take notice and consider implementing requirements/measures/regulations…

But I guess it’s not just lemmy, but also any other fediverse (or any other decentralized) service. Just curious

Not sure if this is the right community to ask? It’s not really a technical support question, just a general lemmy question.

All fine and dandy, but don’t just pick a random one close to you. Don’t forget that the admin basically has all your info. So do your due diligence and make sure to check you agree with all their policies etc.

I still use it. It still works well enough for me that it’s mostly fire and forget.
