If content on the fediverse is federated and copied to local instances, then won’t instances have to hold onto a forever increasing amount of data?

    I always called reddit anti-social media since it is anonymous by default, and few people choose to fully de-anonymize themselves. That’s one of my favorite aspects about this style of communication - while obviously some people still managed to get their ego involved, and that can happen even in brief throw-away interactions like 4chan, it’s not nearly as bad as facebook or twitter where online behavior and interactions are tied to ‘real world’ identities.

      Yeah, this is a great take. It’s medium for anonymous content, not socializing.
