What does it mean to have a social network where you can't delete anything?

I don't think we have quite grasped the implications yet

Is FC practically any different from X in this regard? 

In both, you can delete your content from the network, but people can preserve your content against your will be screenshotting or using APIs to download.

It's materially different. It's extremely hard, if not impossible for a third-party to archive everything from Twitter. 

But for FC it's so easy (by design) to have the full global state - I just need to run a hub (and make sure I don't delete anything)

Running a hub that doesn’t delete anything is far from easy. 

You’ll get kicked by peers for failing sync trie checks, and if someone is spamming the network they can make your hub run out of space and crash

It might be possible to do this today, but as farcaster grows it will become quite difficult to do this - roughly as difficult as doing it for X

How do you do you this for Twitter today without being rate limited?
