MODERATORS
Massively underrated comment. I know legalese isn't going to be super popular around here, but we can still clarify & enshrine some fundamenatl values here to shore off corporate interests, in the same spirit as copy left. Just because creative Commons are common, and GDPR protects things implicitly (albeit completely untested--perhaps even problematic), that doesn't mean they don't warrant mention and protection.
I will grab my popcorn the first time someone seriously tries to pursue a GDPR erasure request for their fediverse content. I don't think it's even possible to honor such a request in theory, let alone in practice, given that nodes can come and go from the network and when they go, they could easily keep their local copies of everything.
In theory you'd have to send a GDPR request to every instance.
