burggit seems like a cesspool breeding ground
it's arbitrary and the developer probably didn't expect Lemmy to grow that big lol
I like to live in the blurriness

@NormalTownLeader ah thanks, I thought it'd be like another link aggregator site.
this isn't very reliable as it relies on someone (be it real person or a bot) to archive the specific post / answer.
if your post / answer gets in the front page or all or popular, there might be a chance, but if it died in 'New' ? fat chance there's an archive for it.
better to just keep growing slowly rather than having massive capital and quick improvements only to be killed later by Meta.
there are instances in the past where big players acquire the small ones and while at first they seem to be cooperative, it ultimately destroys the small players, one such case is XMPP the open chat protocols long before we have Matrix, killed by Google

I guess this is a cautionary action, better to grow slower rather than be killed by Meta.
I kinda sorta getting used to kbin, lemmy, mastodon and such, but peertube is a different beast altogether. I still have no idea how to find videos
I want to be attached to them, know their backstory and motivation, ya feel?
