Archive.org did also not give solace. Was not able to show the vids afaics.
If anyone still has the videos, or know another location where they are available online, please let us know. A good Peertube instance may be https://peertube.public.cat maintained by Petites Singularités and @how, which also still has the ActivityPub for Administrations workshop videos.
Do different app domains have different requirements for content preservation
Quoting my toot in response to a poll by @evan on what would happen to the fediverse if mastodon.social went down. Microblog content is quite ephemeral, and if content doesn’t migrate it is not a huge deal for the most part. This is different for other app types, like Software > PeerTube video content in this case (cc @chocobozzz) ..
The story of #microblog migration is reasonably okay esp. for masto-to-masto. Microblog content is relatively ephemeral, and its not too bad to leave your old content behind.
I left a sizable account @humanetech@mastodon.social behind, built around Humane Technology advocacy, which I later completely erased from that server. I also once erased the history of this account, to demonstrate the ephemerality, and that we shouldn’t use #microblogging for valuable discussions we like an archive on, like ActivityPub development.
For different domains, such as video apps like peertube, this is a different story, archiving more important. I recently found out that perhaps the ActivityPub Conference 2020 videos have been lost, where instance https://conf.tube redirects to @fossnorth channel at https://peertube.anduin.net/c/fossnorth/videos
No one is responding thus far. It’s unclear who owned APConf channel at the time, who runs the new instance, and who runs #FOSSNorth.
I got into contact with the organizer of FOSS North who took hold of the conf.tube domain name, when the Peertube instance hosted there shut down. For details, see the follow-up I created on the Social coding commons forum at:
