In other words, can any user delete its data on its will and is there something that will remove its data from all the connected activitypub services? I believe this should actually be a basic feature and pretty much a requirement.

Good question!
PieFed sends delete requests to every known server, including defederated ones. I’ve seen a ton of delete requests from Mastodon too, for accounts that don’t exist on PieFed so it looks like Mastodon does that too. No idea about other fedi platforms.
I’d be willing to bet there’s archiving going via software/servers that don’t obey deletion requests.
Anything federated is public information.
There’s definitely a bot with a user agent like “fedi big data” doing some scraping in my server logs, does anyone know who that is?
With how Lemmy handles deleted posts (and nuking access to the comments) I’m probably gonna make my own removeddit for Lemmy.
