    if that also deletes the images, I could see how that would save a ton of storage space to delete memes after they get old, and if it’s like Mastodon I think it only deletes the ones that come from remote instances

      Yes it deletes the images, to save space.

      There are a lot of communities that have content which is amusing for a moment but which have no lasting value so I see no reason to keep paying to store it forever.

        Totally fair! That would definitely make a huge difference in server costs, and I’ve seen the same thing used effectively on Mastodon
