   All piefed.social communities have infinite retention. Our stuff is high quality and worth keeping forever, it’s just the trashy Lemmy content that gets deleted ;-)

     Even though you might post into a Lemmy community, piefed.social still has to store the original copy of the meme.

     It would be good if the instance chooser showed content retention policies in some way so people could take that into account when they choose an instance.

     • Mastodon

     @rimu Are there upcoming #FASP offerings that might help with media storage? I think @Mastodon may be building something like that that seems to apply to any fediverse software. Does #piefed have #FASP support on its roadmap?

     "We will implement a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) that will allow sharing storage and media processing between servers.

     The timeline for implementation is by the end of 2026." https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/04/sovereign-tech-agency-funding/

     All piefed.social posts should have infinite retention. They do not ATM. piefed.social-originated content of Lemmy comms is getting trashed as well :/

     It’s not on the roadmap because the first time I heard of FASP was yesterday :)

     It’s a nice idea. I’ll be interested to see how they solve the problems of

     • Instances wasting a ton of space everyone ends up paying for.
     • What will it cost and who pays. Something at this scale can’t be volunteer-run.
     • Instances allowing stuff like lolicon which others find repugnant.
     • Instances uploading CSAM.

     The shared blocklists (FIRES) is more straightforward and I’m keen on doing that ASAP.
