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

You are missing ~~the~~several points.

  1. Lemmy is software. lemmy.ml is a server. The devs of Lemmy can't be fined unless specifically the server they operate (lemmy.ml, recall) is doing something against the GDPR.
  2. There is more than Lemmy in this picture. You're on kbin. There's dozens of other servers based on ActivityPub out there, all of which can be breaking the GDPR. This non-problem is not related to Lemmy. It's the foundational architecture of ActivityPub. (And HTTP, incidentally. And XMPP. And and and and... Literally every distributed protocol ever made or that ever will be made has this non-problem.
  3. The things people are complaining about here may not actually even be covered by GDPR.

Yeah, sorry, man. All the ignorance was blurring together and your post was caught unjustly in the fringe.
