@Amorpheus Text interaction being your preference is fine, but the Fediverse is much more than that, with entire platforms dedicated to images, video, and so on. Even if it was text only, that wouldn't solve one of the main issues: database storage costs.
A server's database has to store the contents, statistics, interactions, and all other details of every post which said server ever encounters. Being able to more easily clean up that database of unwanted posts would be great.

@Amorpheus I'm not clear on what exactly you mean regarding "pushing monetary pressure for quotas." I think we should have better and more accessible tools for removing older posts which servers no longer need to keep, because keeping those posts costs money. Having better control over what each server stores, and for how long, gives admins more options to manage their operating costs. Having tools to lower operating costs reduces the likelihood of servers closing down for monetary reasons.
