Hi, I’m not self hosting, but I’ve realised I’ve spent a decent amount of time on this social media, and written a few things I may want to revisit in the future.
I was wondering if there was a way to “back up” my account, so if something happened to my host instance, I would still be able to have a copy of the comments and posts I made :).
I’m not expecting to be able to “transfer” my account to a new one, but have a backup of posts and comments for personal storage, having a copy on my harddrive.
IIRC this was already addressed and should be automatic.
There was an issue specifically mentioning GDPR and the devs implemented a way to automatically delete the data of an account within the given time.
It’s not a GDPR request in itself, but AFAIK a normal delete account request should be compliant… INAL
