When should I drop registered users? (piefed.social)

I'm just wondering what other Peertube instance owners think about users who request accounts and then after several months, never produce anything?

I have a managed hosted instance which means I have a limit with my storage. I can only take on new users if I have enough storage to offer. For example I only have 5 users currently. I plan on taking on more as soon as I can find the $$$ but my problem is that after 2 months two of the users have yet to log in let alone make a video. So my question is, how long should I wait before I tell them that their accounts will be removed for lack of content? I'm not about paying for users who don't make anything.

So what do you think is a good time to wait? I'm thinking 3 months is more then long enough? What do you think? (Also I'll be adding this to my TOS so that people know when they register.)

What do you mean by producing, content? Comments? Likes? Some users maybe never produce own content, some might even not comment. And with the limited content it is sometimes even hard to like many videos. I would prefer activity for orientation, if possible. Three months or more as inactive would be a reason for deactivation, in my eyes. Maybe send some form of warning beforehand, with a reasonable timeframe for them to react. But I really do not have a clue which metrics are available to you.

In my Terms it states "Accounts are for users who intend to upload video content to enrich the federated internet. For Commenting and subscriptions please use another activityPub platform such as mastodon and remote subscribe/comment instead but you are welcome to bookmark this instance for general use."

In other words, if you have an account with me, it's for making videos.

Sounds to me like your terms are very clear. I'd kick them out
