No, it has jurisdiction in the EU. And Lemmy is a part of the EU jurisdiction.

Sure. Lemmy does have such a presence though.
It’s been a problem for a while. Considering major social media companies have already gotten massive fines from the EU for violating the GDPR, maybe the lemmy devs will put more effort in setting up a deletion system once the EU sends them a fine for breaking the law?
The GDPR is a required to comply EU law for all websites in their jurisdiction. You can’t get away with claiming “but people choose to join the website”.
Many other websites and even major social media sites have gotten fined and other sanctions put against them already for violating it.
I mean, with the vast majority of inter-departmental emails, no, one can’t be bothered, because it’s pointless busywork communication.
We’ve got that already on Kbin.social. :)
Or reopen your browser and have it restore the history. Yes, I know. But this helps you avoid even that minor hassle from happening at all.

If you have a tendency to accidentally X out of your entire browser with all its tabs by an errant flick of the mouse, then this site as one of your tabs (need to click one for Chrome, as it notes) will have a popup asking if you’re sure you want to close everything, letting you prevent that.
I just block the instances, which one can do on kbin.social. Easy way to not have to bother with the dictatorship and genocide supporting tankie trash.
I only use Mastodon as a desktop website.
Is your instance promoting actively cultivating essentially a troll army to go and push pro-dictatorship propaganda across other instances and brigade threads?
If no, then you should be fine.
There’s a reason why a bunch of poor people in inland Florida, which would be becoming close to beach front property within the century, are being evicted and bought out by rich people and companies.
