Dan, I'd love to bridge my #pixelfed account with bridgy-fed, so to expand the number of people that can see my pictures. Does not seem to be compatible, can you give an eye ?
It's all very clever, i really appreciate all attempts of optimizing storage, that's the only way big and medium instances can survive.
My point is, my single user instance has the highest level of storage waste but it's already there, paid. How many people will see a picture because it's cached on my pleroma for a month ?
Of course this works because one user is one, i receive daily just the amount of media i'm able to consume
What if all users were standalone ? The most wasted internet resource is residential landline bandwidth
very interesting, but if we bring decentralization to the extreme of almost personal server, up to say 100 users, which is a thing activitypub allow to do with bare minimum hw/network...
there is no need to have a remote storage for caching media.
A server with reasonably few users, download just a fraction of media from the fediverse, and don't have to keep them forever.
We are chatting, not mirroring the whole internet. If you see something on internet, a beautiful picture, a long article, and you like it, you save it, you don't expect it to find it online next year
this quote from @mitra is exactly what i think would be awesome
In my work I prefer to focus on the positive side of censorship resistance: digital sovereignty. A server that runs on your own hardware and that doesn’t depend on any external services is practically unstoppable. This is already possible today with Tor and I2P, but requires specialized technical knowledge, and even if you have it, you can communicate only with a very small number of people.
So the most important features are those that make this experience more accessible. Ideally, everyone should be able to send messages to millions of followers from a personal social media server that runs on the phone with unstable internet connection.

have i done something wrong ? Since last web page redirecting to njump,i was trying to figure it out the right way to figure it out the fediverse address from a npub key, in order to start following a person
Well, migrating followers (just followers) should really be a standard feature of ActivityPub then. One that must be implemented by all the supposed AP compatible projects
Nobody is gonna buy the theoretical reach of all the same people, like real freedom to change fediverse provider.
Andre, you know, this public post you just wrote, has been temporarily cached by my pleroma server. I wonder if you consider that i'm using your content by simply answering you.
@youronlyone i really don't get the Spoutible point of letting their users crosspost to mastodon, instead of using activitypub. I guess that this clunky implementation however, will force their users to make an account on .social or .online.
Up to them, if they find this feature useful, we will see their posts anyway ...
