Maybe the message data can be pruned like every 2 weeks or something.
Messages are only relevant for a short period of time. Would this be possible?
Yes, pruning is the way to handle this type of temp data. I have suggested this few times to different channels and chats, but it is something that should be implemented and supported by Steem blockchain and there are some technical challenges I believe. By default messages can be kept 24 hours or so and if you want it to stay longer you would pay some fee. And that fee can be calculated depending on size (byte) of that message.
