If having global state on a single server is important, you get to choose two:

1. Long term storage
2. Censorship resistant
3. Cheap

A few of things:

1. You can keep paying for storage and as long as someone is running a valid Hub your content will be preserved. You could even make a smart contract that drips out payments for 100 years.

2. Anyone can pay for someone else's storage ($3 in OP ETH)

3. Back up off protocol on Arweave or onchain

if your old casts get pruned bc u run out of storage, do u get them back once u buy more storage?

related(?): i'm not out of storage yet but i noticed the images from my earliest casts are gone. is that due to changes in fc image hosting?

i like internet (◕‿◕)♡ riotgoools.com | veryinter.net/person | nf.td/elle | alt: @elle | very internet person channel: /vip

It's possible but not built yet

Probably imgur deleting old images
