The fact that this post get as much ↓s as ↑s strengthens OPs whole argument.

Ah, Japan, the country that lives in the future, if the future is the year 2000.

We don’t know how the fediverse would play out in the long term but I expect a few things:

• Lemmy devs will implement locking old posts in the future
• instance owners will decide on their post locking policies
• Many instances will not survive for as long as Reddit survived till today
• Third party archivers (perhaps archive.org among others) will need to step in and archive posts. Ofc archived posts is not interactible.

This is actually 3.0. dirty cryptobros stole the number from us and did it dirty.
