"I use all my reaction storage but very little of my cast storage. Can storage units be flexible?" > Flexible storage units are very tricky to implement with a good UX. There are many problems, but the most pressing one is what to do when you’ve exceeded the limit and send a new message. The only solution with our eventually consistent network is to prune the oldest message, irrespective of type. This means that if you run out of space and like something, the first person you followed may get unfollowed, which is really bad. There is no easy solution to this problem.

this might be a dumb question, but what if we could purchase storage specific to a specific type? Ie. top up on reactions if there's still lots of cast storage left?

Why can't likes and recasts be separate things instead of grouped into "Reactions"? Likes shouldn't take as much storage as recasts. Everyone wants to be able to like a cast without worrying about it causing them to run out of reactions and reactions are already half the limit of casts because recasts are copies.

tbqh, I think we're too early. storage units, even if increased b/c of this, are still significantly large enough, and the total spend is well within global annual spend. are there any remaining options for loss-maxxing compression?

What I've had a bigger problem with is that there are no notifs to let you know storage is out on something and you don't know that you start loosing your activity/actions

I’ve always been curious about the percentage of each we get with a storage unit. Why is reactions the lowest quantity versus follows and casts? Logically it seems like we should get more reactions than follows or casts.

Just get rid of reactions imo if they are going to get cut down, 99% of the people here run out of reactions first, but not being able to like something doesn’t feel as good. There has to be a better way.

we* don't want "flexible storage" we just want more reaction storage, cutting likes is not da way 😂

Reducing in reaction is not a good solution as a matter of fact

Maybe we need a gas mechanism. A storage unit contains a specific amount of gas, and different type activities cost different gas. for example, casts calculates gas based on length, links and reactions have different gas cost

Excuse my ignorance (not a dev/engineer), but doesn't storage just come down to 'bits'? Why not allow a blanket coverage based on the bits you consume? Also, as many have noted, would be great to easily access (in profile) my storage cap and stats.

Hmmm this is huge reductions for people with lots of storages. I already have 11 in just 3 months.

If I have 9 storage units and the reactions capacity is reducing from 5k to 4k per unit, will I “lose” 9k storage capacity?

Just reduce the price of a storage unit incrementally over time
