Farcaster

What’s something about Farcaster that’s unclear or confusing?

do casts get deleted after a year even if you have space left in your storage?

You have to keep paying for storage. Similar to web hosting.

It’s a great developer UX to have a single server (Hub) with the entire global state. So, tradeoffs.

Have you considered archiving casts indefinitely on Arweave to reduce costs and maintain historical integrity?

Not a great UX to have to continuously pay to keep your voice recorded. You also risk losing notable/important conversations and their context. Plus 404s.
