you're absolutely right about ipfs. its mission of forever preserving the web is awesome but it means that data will last indefinitely (and every version of every piece of data lol)

i had never heard of hypercore. that's pretty cool. maybe lemmy will get some nice fixes for storage, image, video management to make instance media hosting easy for the instance maintainers so they can follow the same path reddit did of hosting post media. that way, media not only stays with the instance but can be edited/deleted by the users

imo that's not good enough anymore for the web at its current age. decentralization works and is the way to go. communities shouldn't suffer from the gross actions of large companies. that's why a federated and decentralized imgur clone would be good, too :)

agree, my first thought was ipfs. would be a cool if ipfs gave the uploader the power to delete/revoke

someone beat me to it but yeah, i think something like ipfs is trying to be the sort of p2p decentralized storage solution. i like your thinking of bittorrent :D

fair! even imgur has made some big changes like a new rule against nsfw. it makes me think the same garbage that happened with twitter and reddit could happen to imgur

 

for the longest time a lot of images posted to reddit were really posted on imgur (until they started hosting it on their own, too). is there a fediverse'd imgur we should be using to complement lemmy? its docs say it shouldn't be used for large images and videos.

pixelfed seems more like a federated flickr or instagram, not just simple image/album hosting like imgur. thoughts? ty 💙

will it still tell me to put in the other disc? :D

right. and all meta wants to do is sell your personal and usage data. meta doesn't give two farts about community or open source, imo
