Here is a link to another discussion on this topic.
ActivityPub has deletion protocols that at worst need to be implemented. Overall any shortcoming in the Lemmy code base can be fixed, and as always nothing is truly private on the public internet. It's like expecting privacy using the sidewalk or the public park. We should try to have instances respect deletion requests though, but all that can be done is to ask servers nicely through an API.
