Looking for feedback concerning disk usage of this server (beehaw.org)

When Beehaw was first launched our disk usage (physical space on the server) was approximately 45%.

Right now we are up to 72% and this will continue to climb over time.

At the moment, I can only see two options. Firstly, go up an additional tier with our server host which would increase the monthly hosting cost.

Secondly, figure out a way to remove old and inactive posts. Hopefully, there is a batch process for this or something similar. I'm not an expert in this area, sadly.

What are your thoughts?

How much are the server costs?

All of our financials are transparent and can be viewed here.

The server costs are roughly $6 per month.

how much more is the next tier of storage?

An additional $6 raising it to $12 per month.

Yes it was the main reason for me moving my VPS hosting from Digital Ocean to Hostworld. I paid a bit less and got 100 GB of storage vs I think Digital Ocean's 80GB. I'm on their VPS-3 tier.
