[[wikipedia:Lemmy_(social_network)|'''Lemmy''']] is an open source, decentralized media network that is most similar to [[Reddit]]. It is built on the ActivityPub protocol, allowing users to interact with posts on Mastodon and Kbin. == Privacy == While Lemmy itself and the majority of Lemmy apps are open source<ref>https://join-lemmy.org/apps</ref>, vote privacy is fundamental incompatible with ActivityPub, meaning anyone can see what content you like and dislike<ref>https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html#vote-privacy</ref>. == Incidents == In February 2024, Lemmy was called out for not allowing users delete media they uploaded, violating GDPR<ref>https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2024/03/04/lemmy-fediverse-gdpr/</ref>. Instead of allowing users to delete media, Lemmy developers implemented a feature to wipe all user generated content when you delete your account<ref>https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2384</ref>. == External Links == * [https://lemmy.ml/c/louisrossmann@lemmy.world Louis Rossmann community on Lemmy] == References ==
