npub1aqu84tp7zjndtmxjt65wqh29saqx8mtuc6fmp0ljxzw2kuzqn24qm2q6sc (npub1aqu…q6sc) npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc (npub12ty…vnqc) I needed to have my account deleted recently and it required email and they told me it would be 2 weeks before it could be confirmed. They acknowledged the delete would be GDPR compliant as they have to scrub your account from any backups too.

This is a really hard problem for something like the fediverse. You can't go back into old database dumps and delete users from it... you just can't edit those files like that.

You're essentially forced to have a separate backup of data for each user so you can target them. But this greatly complicates your backup infrastructure as well as your application logic.

I hate it so much, it forces you to be extremely wasteful
