Questions about anonymity on lemmy.world servers (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to understand how safe it is to use an account on lemmy.world to post dissenting opinions regarding the U.S. government. I have three questions:

If a subpoena is issued for IP records for a user or their comments, will all historical IP data be available to provide?
Is there a time limit on how long IP records are kept?
When a user deletes their account on lemmy.world, are their comments and/or IP records also deleted?

I know me too, I love it here don't get me wrong, but literally anyone can host an instance. GDPR is great overall, but it doesn't cover when you blast your data to N number of other servers. There's no clawback, and even then like we both said, there's nothing stopping a 3 letter agency for listening and just ignoring the delete request. I love it here, but I'm not going to just give out private info either. If you want encrypted messaging, go to Matrix
