But it is an open source project and the developers views are strongly in favor of privacy, so yeah you can self host it or check the source code. But I think it's safe to assume they didn't program it like that.

Note that people who host an instance theoretically change it, but still I wouldn't worry it'll actually happen.

Depends on how much you trust your instance admins.

Isn't this comment deleted for you too? (I replied twice by mistake)

Anyway, yeah I completely agree. But as I replayed to a user at my other reply:

I don’t believe that, assuming an average person host an instance, the host will want some random people metadata from photos. It’s not big corps that process every bit of data they get.

No, it's not deleted for me. I had the same problem as you. I replied twice, immediately deleted one, then had people responding to both and telling me that I replied twice.

It's really scary that deleting comments doesn't work 100% of the time. And it's ironic, given the topic of this discussion is privacy. Not being able to guarantee that your comments can be deleted 100% is a huge privacy concern. It might even be illegal in Europe, but idk.

The deleted comments don't get deleted too tho. The last edit is saved on the server anyways, so if you really want to delete something, edit it first and then delete it.

Since then, I have been editing my comments several times to different variants of the word "Deleted". Sometimes, I do brackets, sometimes I do Italics.
