It seems like the storage-intensive nature of the network would limit growth -- at some point it would get too big and slow. Interesting to have this built in, it would favour many smaller networks; decentralized by design.

You only store the feeds for friends and friends-of-friends by default. So it does store a lot, but it's not outrageous amounts unless you friend everyone and join every pub.

And since each device you connect with is really its own identity, you can be more selective with your mobile devices (with constrained storage) and less selective with your desktop or server.
