   "Building Mastodon to be frozen"

   https://parkerhiggins.net/2017/04/building-mastodon-frozen/

   I'm thinking about how we can build archiving and preservation tools right into Mastodon — where the Fediverse presents some risk — and what other opportunities that might unlock.

     YES.
     
     I've also been thinking that a site that continually rendered a static version of itself, committed that to a repo and then redeployed itself at some reasonable rate, pruning the database as data was pre-rendered, could have great scalability and trivial post-mortem hostability.
