    Generally speaking, text is cheap to transmit and store. It’s images and video that could be a real issue.

    But ultimately, content on small instances may end up being somewhat ephemeral. Developers and admins may want to look into ways to earmark significant posts so that they don’t end up in the dustbin, but 90%+ of what gets posted to social media isn’t actually worth saving long term anyway.
