farcaster clients should locally replicate all of the logged in user's messages and sync it to icloud so that if they don't pay for storage and their data gets pruned the app can just prompt them to pay and republish all their data from the backup

great idea is this actually feasible at scale?

Data loss is a violation of user trust. Local backup is so much more than nice‑to‑have—it’s a essential trust feature. I learned the hard way when my early FC Intrepid‑day photo puns vanished. We need the ability to keep our own archive so we can republish in one tap. (Or some sort of other native and easy way to auto-renew backup function. Some way of making sure data loss is highly improbable. I didn’t even know where the data and storage tab was on FC before it was pointed out to me.) Big thanks to @stephancill for surfacing this to the farcaster community.

as a smaller step, id love a script that i can run that takes my neynar api key and pulls all my protocal data into a single file. bonus points if script can then take that file as input and do the republishing.

We could easily do this with SwiftData. It syncs automatically to iCloud for free. Good idea.

I agree that there should be some kind of solution to the question of, “where to store user messages beyond the blockchain limit”, but is iCloud (or any privately-owned cloud service) the best long term solution? To me, it feels like it ideologically runs against the principle of ownership of data that decentralised apps represent.

This is a great idea. A dont like the thought of the (imo significant) history happening here suddenly disappearing.

Clever workaround, but feels like just kicking the can down the road on pruning
