Lemmy and GDPR - What is the current state? (lemmy.world)

As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR complient? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Both ways are a wheel with a hub in the center and spokes out to the wheel. The users are the spoke/wheel location, the “corporation” is the spoke/hub connection

The Old Way was users connecting to a corporation that provided a service. The corporation controls almost everything.

The New Way is that users control almost everything and connect to the hub which allows them to connect with each other.

Lemmy is the hub, instances are the users, and communities are the data shared.
