  • @sedawk probably… maybe threads can be closed and then some data can be removed.

    This is a culprit of the Fediverse players, they’re unlikely to keep all data forever (as some services do, at least until they’re gone for good like Google Waves). Storage costs money, the need will grow forever, maybe some more cost effective storage can be used for old data/posts/threads/media, just like internet archive does, they don’t used fast storage, so it takes seconds to load old website versions. But that also seems like a big leap for amateur technology enthusiasts (like most admins of Fediverse systems are).


  • @poVoq @ndr this will surely grow a lot, if you look at other activity pub compatible systems you’ll see a huge grow, it depends on the retention of “old” post and media, if you say just store all for a year you might keep it smaller, but if you want to replace #Reddit or so it would be better to keep stuff a bit longer, but then on the other hand the #Fediverse is probable not meant to store stuff for long term.

    On my Friendica node I have a rather short period to store foreign posts and media, and my storage is only about 47 GB, most of the media is stored in the database as well (easier and faster to backup, much slower to retrieve) and it is a single user instance with just a handful of bots besides the account I write from.
