Can't you simply wait for a complaint to actually make that call?
From a privacy perspective, owning a federated server doesn't really do much for your data except for providing a "home base" that's a little more under your control.
A little.
AFAIK if you get banned from a community, you lose the ability to delete your content on it. If your post on a community gets removed, it also seems to vanish (so I'm not sure how deleting it works)...
Edit: apparently this answer is wrong, now if people could reply with reasons, that would be more helpful.
if you get a letter because you violate the gdpr thing you have to pay. there is no 'it looks like you do something wrong. stop it or you will be fined'
then again the fine is based on yearly profit, if op is not a company the gdpr should not be a big problem. (but still could be)
