Isn't the fediverse fragile long-term wise from a structural point of view? I have this feeling that a ton of small lemmy instances will die over the years taking content away (I don't expect this will happen with lemmy.world). Is this something that could happen? Will it be a problem?
I feel kinda bad for the front-end sub contractor who just had to complete a checklist of PR friendly tweaks. To be fair, that pop-up box that wasn't written by the same crust of greedy and incredibly toxic executives who have driven the company towards mislabeling food, wasting fresh water and polluting the earth etc
That's some incredible stone work right there, how would you go about building it? Maybe one could make a wood arc to serve as a guidance for the shape of the ceiling when you're carving it? I have no idea how to approach the carving and smoothing of a floor so flat with ancient tech 🙃
I get that point! But imagine "ancient youtube history videos" like "chocolate rain" were hosted on an old and unstable peertube node. I would find it sad that a decentralized infrastructure erased old and historic eras of the internet. I'm not saying this just defeats the whole fediverse, I just find it a point of concern, I'm sure if it is really a problem the developers and community will find approaches to mitigate it!
(Btw, I'm not yet well informed about all the caveats/tradeoffs/unwritten rules of lemmy/mastodon/peertube when it comes to data storage, so maybe what I'm saying just doesn't make sense at all, correct me if I'm wrong!!)
Oof, that might be a solid roadblock limiting peertube/fediverse. Decentralization sounds great as a greediness deterrence system, but it also feels like lesser nodes will be more prone to stop maintenance over many years, making decentralize content more fragile than centralized. I wonder if a way to counterattack this is via enabling posts mirroring and content transfer among fediverse instances... 🤔
I didn't know about this, thanks for the heads up!! But, with this decentralized approach, if a peertube node "dies", could those videos be saved in a different node? I guess one of my biggest concerns with the fediverse is that fragmenting the network might also lead to fragility of content
It seems like a lot of linux users are fond of jumping around different distros, do they all automate the setup process with a bash file that installs and configures everything quickly? 🙃
