So, a question on #nostr sustainability.
As time goes on, I'm guessing #relays will accumulate more and more shared notes and information, generally. Is there any agreed form of pruning? Because otherwise I feel relays might become oversaturated quickly, won't they?

Starting a paid archival relay coupled up with the permaweb of Arweave or similar should be a good opportunity
Agree
Data storage is cheap, quick access is not. My guess is that relays will evolve to "prune" old and less relevant data, where "prune" means move it to cheaper storage that has a longer access time.
It's up to the relay operator on when and how to prune. If you want it forever, you'll likely need to run your own relay
I've been running the nostr21.com relay since December or so and it's database is only 8 gigs. When I dump it to json its only 3 gigs. Since it's all just text, I think storage prob won't be an issue for a long time.
Ohhh so you can setup a relay that only broadcast text or one that only broadcast photos?
