My big wish, I want to truely own my own data. If I decide to delete something, I would hope there's not a hundred copies replicated in a hundred caches somewhere. When I delete my own data, I want it truely gone. If someones node is offline, I hope there's nothing of mine left on it.
- kevincox 6y agoThis is really impossible to do perfectly. If you want to share something with someone they can take a copy. Unless you are going to go down the DRM route you really just have to accept that. There are definitely some decentralized system that encourage duplicating data, but even for those that don't you can't escape some users wanting to mirror or archive everything they see.
- neuland 6y agoThis is difficult to balance with having data be available when you are offline. If your data is local to a user's device (laptop, desktop, tablet, phone), then it's not online 24/7. So, you need some way for other people to see it. If you require people to use a server, there's either problems onboarding and trusting that server operator. Or you make people host their own server and nobody uses it b/c that's too technical.
