You know the joke about mathematicians numbering jokes, and how a visitor tells a new joke by saying a number they've never heard? Well, #IPFS is the same, but for files/collections of files.
@encthenet same problem then: bad jokes will forever clog up desirable numbers ;)
Not in IPFS!
In IPFS every joke effectively gets its own number, with no two jokes ending up with the same one, so no clogging.
@volkris still have bad jokes clogging up the system.
@janl nah, because if the joke is bad nobody is going to request it and so it will sit on a single node and not be distributed.
But that’s no different from any other internet activity.
I mean here on Mastodon / Fediverse there are no real deletions either.
Yeah, you can send out a deletion request, but it’s all voluntary, exactly the same as IPFS.
Welcome to the internet.
Or I guess, welcome to reality. From the first publication of a newspaper there has never been real deletion. Anything you put out there can stay around as long as anybody who wants to keep it.
Well, the W3C might know a thing or two if you’d like some light weekend reading on the topic.

But sure, have a nice weekend.
@volkris you clearly have no idea what you’re talking a out. I’m ready to stop engaging now and enjoy my weekend. ✌️
