Why does this whole article feel like an advertisement?

And still equally fascinated by it

This is amazing, thank you! I really appreciate the effort that the lemmy admins are making to cater to various users.

I love this idea, this would drive up engagement from power users!

I think what they're trying to tell you is that you can have ANY playback speed instead of the 4 options given by the built in player.

The biggest issue would be data retention. Reddit serves as a real world database that stores all the historical content and search engines like google make it searchable.

We're talking about petabytes, and lemmy hardly has a few gigabytes.

Who is going to store all this data, even in a distributed environment, the bigger instances would have to store a few hundred terrabytes (per year).

Everything else comes under “other data” lol.

They federated with others.

This is amazing, but we do need a shorter version!

Yep, capitalist greed ruins everything. Which is why distributed networks run by the community are our best hope for the future.

Those fuckers would try to ruin this too, by bot attacks, by trying to cut deals with some of the admins or by running their own versions of Lemmy/Mastadon.

We as a community will have to handle whatever comes next.
