Mastodon database sizes are like snowballs rolling down an infinite mountain.

Is it better to preserve our local instance archive of the Fediverse as we see it?

Or to prune that data and hope the original instances stay available?

@james Mastodon pulls in a lot of data that is not of interest to anyone on your instance. Look into tootctl. There are a lot of thing that you can safely prune without anyone noticing.
