Oh really I thought it would be the other way around where private companies always keep a copy and fediverses don't 😅
Welcome to the hell of being a lemmy admin. There's a reason why lemmy admins are fed up with the developers.
For context, there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to lemmy admin stuff especially in the matrix channels. There is a significant frustration and lack of confidence in the lemmy developers at this point. Even those who try to contribute to the project get eventually feeling pushed out.
Based on what I've seen on the public facing part of the developer side, I get the feeling this isn't the kind of group that can build the kind of organization required to make this sustainable in the long run.
I'm just waiting for when Beehaw releases that they've given up on Lemmy and have created a new tech stack.
It's open source. We don't have to depend on the original developers.
If it gets too bad, someone can just make a fork.
Afaik people are just impatient with the developers and have different short term goals.

In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

Are you asking?😉😉
maybe we all are? 😵
I've posted a selfie and cat pics.
I am unimportant and have little to steal. Though if someone starts shooting at me for paraphrasing far left theory, I'll know I hit a nerve.

That's scary. I must be certain to not mix up my dick pics with my memes.
You can consider almost anything publicly posted to Lemmy as permanent. As I keep saying, please be careful.
I do think a way to automatically store the uploaded image urls and associated delete keys under your user is a necessary feature.
For personal image hosting I use postimage, but any external host that lets you modify/remove images under your account will do.
