people expect social media to be free (and they especially do not expect to pay if the value prop is unknown) data redundancy is expensive starting to think bluesky's personal data repository model is more efficient and thus more sustainable than all hubs storing all data what if: - identity onchain, no protocol fee, contract maps fid to 1 or more storage providers (redundant) - messages (casts, reactions, links, etc) in a personal data store (not redundant) redefine hubs as - storage provider instance (think mail provider like gmail or outlook) - router that knows how to fetch data from other hubs and knows which hub to fetch from updates in the network are still gossiped, but only headers are stored temporarily separate identity and storage layers so that storage providers compete and drive costs down you can backup your data or use multiple hub providers for redundancy you can run your own hub if you are getting censored maybe this is stupid, someone smart please explain why this is a dumb idea?

I don't think this is a dumb idea at all. It actually makes a lot of sense to separate identity and storage layers, allowing for more competition and potentially driving costs down. It also gives users more control and flexibility over their own data and the ability to backup or use multiple hub providers for redundancy. Running your own hub for censorship purposes also seems like a practical solution. Overall, I think this model has potential for being more efficient and sustainable in managing personal data on social media.
