@drq @BigFoxBoss @mo but really, fedi is not notekeeping. Even messenger is, but not fedi.
This is because i can search messenger history as linear timeline, but searching fedi timeline is almost impossible. And very sparse federation makes it even more difficult. No, fedi is just conversation now, not notekeeping. Instances dying, instances bans scrappers, fedi users often deletes account (or it's gets deleted somehow due to bug in implementation)
And some users do not want data left after account deleted. No, it is completely not about notekeeping...

@mittorn By your metric, nothing is, because everything (literally everything) is impermanent, and prone to degradation as time goes on.

@drq @BigFoxBoss @mo but microblogging is not really useful for notekeeping because of timelines with big amount of small posts and fedi is more not useful because it is much volatile (disappearing instances, removing users).
For notekeeping we need change p2p federation model to allow not only fetch posts from original instance, but search and fetch posts cache for other instances, allowing distributed storage of dead instances data. And even add searching support to federation (maybe like dc++ search), not only searching original posts. But this is not fedi users to want. I think, most instances will be against such search. Fedi is not global db. It's just place for discussions and memes.
