    My uploads folder is mounted with noexec. It’s easy to set your storage usage & upload quotas in Prosody or Ejabberd.

      I was talking about Matrix - specifically the fact that it stores every message and piece of media on every participating server, unlike XMPP. Indeed not had such a problem on XMPP.

        Yes, the eventual consistency model works more like a blockchain. Sliding windows are only hiding this fundamental flaw of data usage. It has an advantage against censorship, but it isn’t worth it & chat is better treated as ephemeral than permanent (look at how much info is lost behind proprietary Discord communities).
