   @goo I think you'd asked; the amount of space is about half the size of Pleroma's DB for the same number of objects and activities. Things are fetched on demand so that should be an improvement.
   
   Because of the reworking of the on-disk format, garbage collection is going to be trickier (still doable), but the bulk of the data can be dropped without any ill consequences besides it taking a while to retrieve from the network when you need it. The minimum amount of storage is less than a meg; you can run a memory-only.
   
   The point, though, is kind of that you don't need to run a big instance on a server, you can just run a peer. There are going to be a couple of bigger peers to ensure there's some redundancy in the network and there are voluntary self-classifications that are more or less designed to advertise yourself as an archival peer that will take anything and never toss anything versus a machine with no permanent storage and steps between (probably just one step between).

     @p how much disk space will revolver use up? Like, if I use revolver for a few months, will I end up with 40gb of garbage I don't need? I propose that revolver makes it easy from the start for people to purge old archives / media so running out of disk space is never a real problem for people with limited disk space
