If content on the fediverse is federated and copied to local instances, then won’t instances have to hold onto a forever increasing amount of data?

    I can set my personal account to auto delete my own posts after a given time. With being able to set some excludes (favorited, bookmarked, posts which got a minimum of likes, …). But this is not a server setting, it’s an account setting.

    Where is this setting? I can’t find it on the web address https://[your-instance.com]/settings. Does this option need to be enabled by an instance admin?
