Im not a lawyer so I dont know about GDPR. Do you know how similar platforms such as Mastodon handle it?

Hard to say exactly what Mastodon does, but mastodon.social's privacy policy should give you some direction in how they handle data: https://mastodon.social/privacy-policy

As mastodon.social is based in Germany, they will know about GDPR and have to follow it to the letter.

That sounds like its something for instance admins to handle, nothing we as developers need to care about. Maybe we should add a privacy policy for lemmy.ml but thats it.

Wouldn’t it be prudent to build features into Lemmy that make it easy for admins to manage user data though?
