A comment on Scuttlebutt – A decentralized secure gossip platform. Parent comment
Firstly, only the followers (and maybe their friends) would need to download 80GB of videos posted by that supposed ex-prez.
Then, it's peer-to-peer. I don't know the details, though. It could be torrent (very effective, scalable), or direct connections (poorly scalable).
Some pubs (servers) can retain your data, IIRC, though they could pick who they accept.
Syncing would be pretty easy on local networks and sneakernets, provided you have the storage capacity.
