Title says it. Apparently lemmy devs are not concerned with such worldly matters as privacy, or respecting international privacy laws.

Message your admin and ask for purging of that post/comment/user.

Then message every federated server's admin.

Then message every federated server's federated servers' amins.

Technically, yes. If the law is of concern, if you're an admin, purging it from your database will be the only extend your power can reach. If privacy is of concern, while purging will not federate, delete/edit will, so edit all comment into gibberish before deleting your own account, and then ask for it to be purged. If that's unacceptable then best not use social media at all.
