@moshpirit I do not agree. There's a problem when federating _and_ wanting the "private" ilusion. @echosa @thomask @zoowar

@drymer @zoowar @moshpirit @echosa @thomask I regard !gnusocial as being purely for public communications. If you want privacy use #Hubzilla

@bob @thomask @zoowar @drymer @moshpirit This whole conversation (which is more than just this single thread) has been very enlightening and is a good conversation to have about !gnusocial. For those used to Twitter, these little caveats can be huge, or, at the very least, confusing. Privacy is a hot topic right now, as it should be.
I did a little Google Sleuthing with my username, and I found examples of my GNU Social posts on other servers. I assume that's because of how GS federation works. This is a concern to me, though. If I close my GS account and delete my content on the server I signed up on, will my content remain on the other servers, or does the deletion propagate throughout the federation? If deleting my account, or even deleting a single post, doesn't propagate through the entire system, then I don't fully own or control my own content. That's not good. Of course, I could be mistaken, so can someone either confirm or correct my statements?-
@echosa @bob @thomask @zoowar @drymer @moshpirit I'll make one comment and then withdraw. Though I believe federated deletion is implemented in newer #GS instances, you have no assurance that all other instances run that code unaltered. Nor can we be sure that each instance is GS and not #friendica or #rstatus or #hubzilla / #redmatrix (each with its own deletion policies) or an older GS or SN that lacks that capability.
