GDPR and Deletion Requests from banned accounts (lemmy.ml)

How does Lemmy deal with deletion requests for banned accounts? There does not appear to be any built in functionality to make this possible which makes compliance with the law more difficult.

Purging a user will do that, but it won't federate the removal to other instances.

You could remove the posts before purging, but that doesn't trigger a purge on the remote end, it just hides the content.
