No not really. You could have relays that facilitates “one week of data” and then deletes it. That would make it possible to facilitate short term conversations. If you want a Twitter like experience however, you’d need to find reliable relays to connect to or host your own
Needs to be consistent or it’s a useless metric for post engagement.
