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!!)

My bet is that if a video is famous it's gonna get replicated. And if it doesn't, well, it will join the unending list of lost medias.

Anyway we just can't archive anything anyone produces forever.

Mhm, yeah, I guess
