If content on the fediverse is federated and copied to local instances, then won’t instances have to hold onto a forever increasing amount of data?

    Basically, data storage is cheap. Currently it can cost as low as $0.01/day for other instances to store the content that is being sent by the largest communities. Otherwise instances can clear out old data and let the larger instances be the archive hosts.
