As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR complient? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Defederation is an interesting issue. Perhaps deletes and updates should always be federated, as long as they’re authorized with the proper signature. I honestly don’t know how that’s implemented.
That said, I’m sure someone contacting the server admin will be able to get their data corrected or deleted.
Offline servers should get the deletes in most federated software. I’ve seen some slightly troubling modifications to Lemmy (disabling the retry queue because offline servers were clogging up the scheduling mechanism) but that’s not standard as far as I know.
