This has to have been discussed before right? Because yeah this is a very strong argument not to self-host. Naively I'm wondering if there can be archives backed by IPFS or something but that's so much data it's scary.

It's worth pointing directly at how YouTube is a bad tool for what creators are trying to do as evidenced by the constant dancing around what the algorithm considers "advertiser friendly". When's the last time you watched a YouTube video and they didn't have to censor themselves either explicitly or by thinking out loud "YouTube will flag this"?

Creators want to be apart of a community moderated and curated by real humans just like their audience, I would guess, and it's exciting that PeerTube is postured to support this! I don't think it's a hard sell really other than the monetary landscape will get rattled but I imagine that's a solvable problem too.

Cheers to everyone involved with restoring lemmy.ml! Can't imagine waking up to a literal server fire.
