Strypey@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz: Some of the considerations for social publishing services, that aren't so much of an issue for social communication services; * persistence and responsible sunsetting * storage and bandwidth costs * accountable governance * Bring Your Own Domain To be clear, I'm not saying these things aren't helpful in communication services, they certainly are. They're just not as mission critical as they are in publishing services. (7/?)

Sure, now that Loops exists, it's probably the better choice for posting ephemeral microvideos, as part of a social conversation, like we do with text micro-posts. But Loops isn't constrained to this kind of social communication usage. It supports videos up to 3mins long, and people could just as easily use it to publish videos they might otherwise put on a YouTub channel. In the hopes they'll still be watched and valued many years hence.

* persistence and responsible sunsetting

* storage and bandwidth costs

* accountable governance

* Bring Your Own Domain

To be clear, I'm not saying these things aren't helpful in communication services, they certainly are. They're just not as mission critical as they are in publishing services.

Take music publishing as an example. If artists commit to making bandwagon.fm the primary online home for their music, they need to be sure that it will continue to exist, and they will get plenty of notice before it's shut down. Which means the people running it need to have a plan for how they will cover the costs of storing and serving a growing collection of music files, long term.
