PSA: you don't need to buy more storage just because you're running out of reactions

storage is allocated in a way that prunes reactions more aggressively because they are less important to preserve than follows and casts

if you are running out of storage forreal then check out this cool v2 frame caststorage.com

I actually think this is a big downside of farcaster storage, and is at the network level, so individuals cannot solve the problem.

Farcaster does not have the "public reaction archive" capability of rival networks. Even if an individual pays for storage to keep their post archive, if most others do not, reactions slowly erode and therefore historical "bangers" do not retain their value.

Historically on Twitter, retweeting an old post  can be important to the current message. A screenshot isn’t quite the same, plus you have to find it

Why can’t you just snapshot & archive the banger? If you do time series snapshots, you can get pretty close to the “peak”

Historical tweets, including their reactions are kinda important for multiple reasons

who cares if a historical banger loses it's value overtime? gc It's decaying & trending to zero anyway. this might be a feature more than a bug since non-repudiation can be a bitch. can write a Black Mirror script about this

playing the otherside - the 'revealed' social graph created by reactions might be quite telling

I wouldn't mind knowing my reactions were tabulated so they could be pruned w/ a trace. isn't the same going to be true for follows & casts storage over long enough time?
