RE: Archivatory.com | An easy way to upload your content to IPFS!
Interesting, this almost seems like the complete opposite of something like Instagram where the content vaporizes almost immediately upon storage. Do you think this could cause problems with people "auto-saving" data only to wish it destroyed at a later time?
By Instagram are you talking about the social media site or something else? Also, I would say a good practice if you want to be able to delete something is keep it away from the cloud. Thats what I'm learning.
Ditto.
Yes, the social media site Instagram. I don't have any real experience on Instagram, so I can't reliably say that my information is 100% accurate; however, from what I had heard, there is a time limit on it. If I'm incorrect, I apologize for the misinformation to any who read these comments.
You are correct about non-cloud deleting; however, most people don't think that far ahead. eg. "Ooooh, I'm in love and this is forever! I want to write this down and store this loving picture forever!" then they break up a month later... this would be the scenario I see happening most (for my devil's advocate info).
I believe you are referring to snap chat. In which case you just can't access the photos again although they are stored on your phone and the servers for a period of time if they are ever deleted.
An I actually just went though a similar experience with a breakup recently. But I'm of the if its there leave it and learn from it mindset, so I'm not entirely worried in that case.
Yeah, probably snap chat. I don't use that one either.
I commend you on the ability to let it go and leave it stored. I think that's an uncommon trait, but a good one to have.
Even bad memories are still memories.
It needs to be obvious to the users that IPFS does lend itself to content not being able to be deleted once uploaded and in that case a user should never upload anything that that they wish to not have accessed via IPFS forever.
I'll update the site to make sure people know that this is the case.
I think it would be very helpful indeed to do so. It's still not going to cure the issue because there will be plenty of people that think "I want to save this forever" only to realize down the road that they were not doing the right thing. But, the disclaimer/warning should, at the very least, be a signal for them to think hard before storing it.
