Highlighting the recent report of users and admins being unable to delete images, and how Trust & Safety tooling is currently lacking.

Is it entitlement if it’s making using the entire thing illegal everywhere? Since there is no tooling to block traffic from the EU / not federate with instances that don’t comply with GDPR?
No. It’s the dev’s project. They can do whatever they want with it. They can delete the repo and go live in the woods if they want.
To be clear, I don’t agree with the stance they have taken. But I also see the kind of reactions there are far from what people are making it out to be. I think the people complaining about the devs being “mean” are just hypersensitive and have never been told “no” their whole lives.
Like I said, I disagree with the devs’ position to not implement this feature. It’s been highly requested, and for good reason. But this is a free project. If they say no, then it’s no. If we don’t like that decision, then maybe we need to move somewhere else.
It sucks but sometimes that’s life.
I don’t care if they are mean. The app isn’t GDPR compliant. That’s what matters.
Fine, that’s what matters. Then ask them to implement it or write it yourself.
And if they say no, then that’s your answer and Lemmy instances within the EU will need to move out of the EU or just shut down.
They can’t be in the EU or the US. That cuts like 99% of them off. That’s exactly my point - they don’t want to implement something that makes the app illegal with 99% of the userbase being from there.
Ok, then it’s time to jump to another platform
For an instance admin? Yeah, it probably would be a good time to not get screwed over. Or at least try to implement it themselves. Traffic blocking isn’t that problematic when location based
