      Depends on which instance you use for your client, I would say. For me only discuss.tchncs.de gets to see my IP address, and Milan Ihl, our admin, as well as his Lemmy server, are in Germany.

      This means two things:

      • You can shop for a location of home instance that you deem Nintendo-safe
      • Nintendo would have to multiply its legal efforts many times over and through different jurisdictions if they wanted to get all users of a community, which might affect their effort-value-considerations.

      But I’ve probably doxxed myself with personal stories. Pretty sure a dedicated person could find my employer, the team I’m in, and my age.

        That’s why I’m very careful about not giving away any personal or demographic information and I delete my account every few months anyway. Makes it much more difficult to track back to me personally.

        This account is overdue for purging. Im waiting for someone to reply to one of my old comments, then off with its head!

          Is there an easy way to purge a Lemmy account or do you have to edit/ delete each comment and post first?

          I’ve had issues with deleting posts previously and just resorted to editing them to be useless instead.

            I don’t know if its a server specific option but when I delete my account on reddthat there is a button to delete all of your posts, comments, and uploads.
