out of curiosity is my logic wrong? does storing old posts cost alot of data?
nostr:npub19rzrt0kc537x22lyea636us4rh85lr7qetnkg3hyyt7pz0su3fes7v2xdt no we are in a comfortable place where the operating costs wont grow much for many years providing traffic remains on the same upward trajectory. we could probably double our userbase before I'd have to seriously consider throwing more power at it. currently poast runs on two 64 core/128 thread EPYC servers and both are pretty unutilized

not really no. our database has remained more or less close to the same size -- storing remote data, which we purge weekly costs a lot
