Fediverse Futures
Social Media Reimagined
This is a companion to Fediverse Futures on Social Coding to elaborate the Fediverse from high-level, non-technical perspectives, brainstorming our visions and dreams.
We need a more holistic approach to fedi development and evolution. We need product designers, graphics artists, UX / UI / Interaction designers, futurists and visionaries to join the dev folks. Everyone is encouraged to join here and enrich our views on what Fediverse can be with diverse and different viewpoints, and to stimulate brainstorming, creativity, thinking out-of-the-box and crazy, wild ideas.
Some guidelines
- Choose a descriptive title that speaks for itself.
- Be substantive in your comments and stay on-topic.
- Treat others as you want to be treated, respectful.
- Don't be overly critical, we are just brainstorming.
Please read the Social Coding Community Participation Guidelines for more information.

Isn't it much more efficient to link (rather than to mirror) ? What am I missing here?
This is exactly my same doubt.
This is the answer I got from my admin: «toots are stored locally for a simple reason: let’s say a toot goes viral, then hundreds of instances would have to upload the message with photos or video from the unfortunate person’s server, which could collapse. Uploading a copy locally saves a lot of stress on the servers.»
What do you think?
Makes sense for viral content, but most content isn't viral.
