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.

one thing i got stuck on going through the design of casts vs. reactions is that the latter are not individual entities, but direct relationships between the user and the cast.

if they were entities, the graph could be simplified (e.g. a "like" entity could get "unliked" just like posts are deleted by posting a new message). new reaction types (e.g. discord style emojis) could easily be implemented as custom reaction entities.

in that world, storage slots for reaction entities could be paid for by the user hosting the post, instead of the user giving the reaction.
