While being compliant with GDPR depends on the instance that pulls your data (which is the premise), the Fediverse isn't in any way close to being private if you can't delete your own data everywhere.

    "Traditional" social media is not meant to be private, what you post always has been public knowledge, and stays that way.

    There are certainly advantages and drawback to this open approach. So use a chat app if you want private social media, like signal story.
