  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:

  Do different app domains have different requirements for content preservation :thinking:

  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.
