@original_fractalator @derek @realcaseyrollins @freemo and its the half-ass compromise i think most people would be on-board for.
@Locksmith @original_fractalator @derek @freemo It shouldn’t be.
Fr decentralization is actually the censorship hawk’s dream
I mean have you seen #FediBlock lol
@realcaseyrollins @Locksmith @freemo @original_fractalator if all pleroma instances have one user is it distributed (p2p)?
in your p2p utopia where are offline messages stored that cant be delivered? do you download all content posted from all your followers? if you have a million followers how will your phone data plan do with sending a million memes?

While these are all legitimate questions to ask, and exemplify why truly distributed networks are a real challenge, they arent impossible to solve.
Generally with distributed networks the answer to most of this is "the data is stored with your peers when offline".
Somehow (depending on the protocol devised) there are multiple copies throughout the mesh of any data. The redundancy of this is high enough to garuntee the data persists and as nodes go down and redundancy is lost the other copies in the network replicate to keep the redundancy consistent.
When you come on line, presuming its a new client without a copy of your own data, it then finds your data in the network and reconstitutes it locally
