Fun side story on why there's 10 different @automod accounts. When moderation switched to require likes on protocol it created a problem: you only get 2,500 likes per storage unit, after that its fair game for hubs to prune old reactions. Well, some channels like /lp are very high volume. They could do 30k casts in a single day which means others channel's likes would be dropped and no longer shown in Main. Thing is, even though @dwr.eth and @v alluded something like this might be necessary, I didn't fully process what they meant until about 8h before channels pivoted over. So I went with this: take all the high volume channels, about 5 or so, and dedicate separate accounts like @automod-ringo, @automod-davinci for them. That gives them 2,500 casts worth on their feed each, more than anyone would page through. Then take all the free accounts, beef up the storage and put them on the shared account @automod (its now got capacity for 500k likes, s/o caststorage . com). cont'd

buying more storage units for the main account wouldn't have done the trick?

not really, likes are pruned in fifo order so high volume channels would push out lower volume channel’s likes. /degen, /lp, /design, /base easily used 10k+ likes a day. The 500k storage units cost about $600 usd and has to be renewed yearly. So storage units are pricey and workload highly dynamic.

thanks, makes sense. though one thing i'm not understanding is why the cost is different with more accounts and lower average number of storage units vs fewer accounts and higher average number of storage units. don't you need the same total number of storage units either way?

> Don’t you need the same total storage? If you want to preserve every like ever, yes but it’s not realistic. Separating high vol accounts into their own fids guarantee only their likes get overridden, not anyone else’s. They get a rolling window of 2,500 likes, more than enough that anyone would scroll through.
