    Is this not illegal under GDPR? The right to retrieve and delete all data is a fundamental part of that legislation. Maybe only European hosted instances are in jurisdiction?

      To be clear, all major instances are well behaved and things are deleted once requested. But there’s no guarantee that there is not some malicious instance out there that intentionally keeps stuff. Also sometimes communication between instances just goes wrong.
