Lemmy and GDPR - What is the current state? (lemmy.world)

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

Edit: The question "is Lemmy GDPR compliant" should mean, does the software stack provide admins with means to be GDPR compliant.

Actually I think it needs a lot of work regarding wording, because it doesn't really read as too professional. But I plan on keeping the core concept. My assumption here is that the GDPR is fine with people sending emails with details over to servers that the email provider has no control over, so the same should apply to the fediverse.
