On storage - Don't overthink it since casts you like or reply will likely be pruned at some point - Farcaster's explicit goal is *real-time* global state. - I fully expect people to offer paid (or free with ads) archiving services, a Wayback Machine type thing, etc.

And you can always buy more storage if you're a preservationist.

Preservationist here. What I'm worried about is not so much the increasing cost of preserving my activity over the years. I'm concerned that in many of the FIP-2 use cases, I will not be able to preserver fc activity that's important to me.

For example, comments on my blog posts. How can I preserve comments from every single user that used FIP-2 to comment on my blog? Or likes on my 15-minutes-of-fame cast? These are not mine, and don't even belong to a single user I could buy storage for.

This is a huge problem for the outcasters.xyz newsletter. @paragraph has integrated fc replies as comments. Im also linking back to Warpcast app for each curated cast.

Just save the comments within the app?

@colin if hubs purge replies that are currently displayed at the bottom of an Outcasters snapshot, will they disappear or does Paragraph save them? As for casts, my solution right now is to kick back to searchcaster.xyz links if they no longer exist on WC, but that’s still no good if Searchcaster was to go away.

We don't save them but we rely on Searchcaster for the actual content, so if Searchcaster persist them then they'd be retrievable. We could add in our own cache at some point but likely not priority in the short/mid term
