   @CM30 Perhaps servers will adopt a policy where media is only kept for, say, a year, and then deleted. (But where posts are kept indefinitely, as text doesn't take up too much space.) This might work well, if users are informed of the policy.

     On a different note, I have to wonder if data storage/bandwidth issues and expectations may be an issue for the #Fediverse going forward.

     Large social media platforms like #Twitter operate with nearly unlimited file storage and users post large images and videos on a multiple per day basis.

     But doesn’t work as well when individuals are hosting servers themselves. The storage requirements for daily/hourly video posts are kinda high.
