History

We should do a better job explaining.

I don't think most people care about old casts? It's a 5-10% of users that really care about preserving everything.

I’m one of the 5-15 and this stresses me out. 

People might not care now, but nobody knows how valuable a fully archived Farcaster will be.  Undoubtedly very valuable and possibly most to people who aren’t thinking of it. 

I’m pretty much in this space for watching history unfold.

If FC continues to grow it will be like the deletion of geocities, and very few left scrambling to try and preserve years worth of culture. I don’t think users are very often reliable data hosts. We need orgs, institutions, museums…

The data is all open and anyone is free to back it up either themselves or as a public good.

There’s no easy solution otherwise we would have implemented it. :)

in my arts and culture alt-weekly past we kept physical and digital records dating back to the early 90s digitally and 50-plus years physically.

From a request volume standpoint less than half a percent of people annually made a search query into archived data. we were really the only ones that touched the data.
