Yes that's right, an instance is constantly accumulating data over time, however instances that aren't the origin instance have the option of going back and deleting old posts (manually in the DB) but then their users wouldn't be able to see them anymore. I do get the concern though, if things really start to pickup and we get insane volume, I'm afraid even my instance wouldn't be able to pick up. I'd have to unsubscribe from everything. On the other hand, I think people will come up with solutions as things scale. There's a lot of unknowns right now, too many to build a solution. Just take a look at mastodon and how its model has changed over time.
