I don't think we're heading towards an everything app, but we may well see an everything account at some point. Companies already use social media management portals to post/respond on multiple platforms; I think if that kind of commercial demand arises for fediverse services, we will probably see similar fediverse management portals which allow you to interact with content on multiple ActivityPub services in a context-sensitive way via one account.

Anyone who owns a server can access all the data stored on it, unless the data is end-to-end encrypted. Whether it's mastodon, Lemmy, Facebook, twitter, Gmail, vBulletin, whatever.
If you need to say something that you can't risk anyone else seeing, use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app, or implement encryption yourself using e.g. PGP.
The web client supports it too, as do other apps like Tusky and Ivory. The official app is just a weird outlier.
Since they say that all their content moderation is currently being done by two backend devs on top of their actual jobs, that seems like a safe bet.
Totally negligible. All you need to keep is a line in a database with the person's email, hashed and salted password, and a unique identifier for each game they own - that's an amount of space that won't even register on any service nowadays. There might be other optional stuff that takes more space, like display pics, cloud saves etc but you can delete those without deleting the whole account.
I think pixelfed added video very recently
Yeah, I'm not sure why this thread is showing (to me) as being on kbin.social, but I assume it's actually on a Lemmy instance since OP asked about the Lemmy UI.
On Kbin you can click on the burger menu and then "magazines", or just go to /magazines
That's not quite true. The general rule for most people is that you get a year of maternity leave; the first 6 weeks are at 90% of your usual pay, then you get 33 weeks at the lower of 90% or £172.48 per week, and then the rest is on Maternity Allowance which is a lower amount again.
The two weeks rule applies only to people who otherwise aren't entitled to maternity leave - normally this is people who are self-employed, agency workers or on a zero hours contract (although you should always check as there are exceptions to these rules that employers will try to pretend don't exist). In that situation, everyone is entitled to two weeks maternity leave for safety reasons, or four weeks if you work in a factory.
That said, a lot of people don't get to benefit from these rules because employers will straight up lie to employees about what they're entitled to, and rely on employees either not checking for themselves, or being too scared of losing their job to insist on getting what they're entitled to. If you're ever in this position, you should absolutely contact Citizens Advice - they know the rules inside out and will be happy to help remind your employer of their obligations, and also of what happens to employers who are found to retaliate or discriminate against employees who are pregnant or new mothers.
