Thanks for the transparency! I don’t mind, mistakes happen, but I understand it’s frustrating and a bit problematic with the lost content.
There was a post about that on a Lemmy admin community a few days ago. Someone with a ~1k userbase was eating up a GB/day on average. IIRC, there were lots of logs, but also if I understand correctly, every server stores mirrors of the data from anything users subscribe to. That could eat up a lot of data pretty quickly as the fedeverse scales up.
If you wanted to suggest a shift for improved scalability, maybe servers could form tight pacts with a few who mirror each other’s content, and then more loosely federated servers load data directly from the pact. A compromise between ultimate content preservation and every larger server having to host the entire fedeverse.
So basically, a few servers would form a union. Each union would be a smaller fedeverse (like cells in an organ), and they’d connect to other organs to form the fedeverse/body.
Also, are users who joined in the past few days affected? I suppose they might need to sign up again.

Yeah, if they signed up in the last few days they’ll need to do it again. Ugh.
