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.

I love this feature as someone concerned about privacy and reducing my digital footprint.

Yes! More things should be ephemeral.

I also think people overrate old tweets, casts, etc. and underrate the liability they present.

i like the sentiment here, but isn’t the fact that i can buy storage for someone else at odds with this?

“you can always store someone’s old tweets” is not a good counterpoint.

here i can pay a tiny fee to have your old casts available for the world to see since they’re available from your account

perhaps a flag at the protocol level where i can dictate whether i allow others to buy storage units for me? (you can default to “true”)
