@maloki It's interesting that a couple of years ago we discussed a generic term for our networks (including #GNUSocial and #PumpIo), and that time I came to conclusion that "Social network" is far better term than "Microblogging". Interesting discussion: https://loadaverage.org/conversation/6782883#notice-6796031

Tip: #AndStatus application can store messages for years, this is why I easily found that conversation ;-)

AndStatus (andstatus@loadaverage.org)'s status on Sunday, 21-May-2017 04:12:25 UTC AndStatus @dwmatiz Currently we have indirect control over the cache size: via number of messages to store and number of days to store them.
I don't think we need to restrict database size separately, but I agree that we need this additional setting: "Maximum size of cached images, Mb" with a default value of 100 Mb ?!
I.e. we may decide to store messages for years, but have a reasonable limit for avatars and attachments.
