Agree with this, and eventually we would like nostr to grow to a Twitter size someday. Storing notes indefinitely is infeasible, and even with a 30-day deletion policy it seems difficult.
Though, is social media the only thing we’re aiming to build here? For example, Turkey blocking access to Wikipedia to its citizens in 2017 because it was a “danger to the public”. A Wikipedia hosted on Nostr cannot be blocked by the govt, because there is no resolvable DNS address that stores all of its content.
But for a Nostr-based Wikipedia to exist, it needs to have persistent data storage.
The technical limitations are clearly an issue, and it seems that for now at least (until technology can reliably store more information on a consumer device), social media is what we are limited to if the # of users skyrockets.
