For mostly text-based posts this might even be an undesirable feature. Not every word needs to be remembered, and even with Mastodon you can backup your posts. But if you want people to be able to find something or everything you said 15 years ago, you need to make some effort, and considering what stupid things people say, this might actually be a good thing.
With photos the best balance between the bliss of forgetting and the wish to remember is maybe more in favor of the remembering.
