I hadn’t read Tantek Çelik’s post on the ephemeral web yet when I blogged about Mastodon yesterday, otherwise I would’ve linked to it. Really good:

All reply-contexts of and replies to such posts and conversations lost, like threads unraveled from an ancient tapestry, scattered to the winds.

@J12t I agree there are uses for both, and some people prefer the ephemeral, and that’s fine. My concern is mostly when things are supposed to last and don’t. Definitely lots of room to improve this across platforms.
