Thanks for your very helpful response. It's not at all too much.
If the aim is to get to about 500 ish I can understand why you would be concerned about lengthening the time period for unused accounts.
One of the issues with people not responding to email reminders could be that a temporary email was used, or setup, to register.
(BTW I think my DMs on here are not working. I sent you one to test a couple days ago.) -

Even more, the typical use case of micro-blogging, which is ephemeral by nature, makes this kind of services not particulary well suited for keeping (and offering) a lot of data for a long time. I mean, if you try to go back into the public timeline, you'll see that after 10 pages you won't have passed even 15 days. Sure, some users (as yourself) wish for a longer "memory" of the notices but, given the situation, I think it is not realistic to expect that outcome. As @lxo said, maybe a blog (even combined with social media) would be a better tool for the needs you have.
Doing some math, I think the machine we are using could hold about 500 accounts (around 40% of them being regular users). We don't want to become a mega-server like some Mastodon ones; 500 accounts would be a good number to close registrations and maybe consider opening another server. Anyway, that only would be possible by adding more disk space (it is cheap, but it would increase the monthly expenses) and by getting a bigger and more constant income from donations.
That is what we can offer :)
P.D. I'm trully amazed that I've needed to cut this into two posts. I didn't think that I would ever need so many characters... Sorry if I digress too much, this topics are always "flying around" in my head.

Transparency exercise:
right now, there are 100 accounts on gnusocial.net. 70 of them have used the service at least once within the last 6 months; 39 have done it within the last month.
We are using around 100 GB of the 160 GB disk we have. And that is more or less constant thanks to this tasks:
- Deletion of local inactive accounts after a year of no use.
- Deletion of accounts from other fediverse servers that do not exist anymore.
- Deletion of remote media every 15 days.
- Keeping the daily backups off-site.
Later today I will publish a notice detailing the costs of keeping up all the services @elbinario offers. It is not much (around 32€ monthly), but not every month is covered with donations, so the members of the collective (El Binario) need to cover the gaps from their own pocket.
Considering all this, I think one year of inactivity is more than enough time to delete a local account (note that everyone in that situation is sent a reminder in case they want to keep it. It's quite uncommon to get an answer). Besides that, unless we are talking about monsters (in more that one way) like Facebook or Instagram, it is impossible to keep all the contents for too long with a growing user base.

I attended the public meeting today at Forestville Reserve where Jayne Stintson MP explained a few things related to the development of the old LeCornu site. She did not say anything publicly related to the wasteful overpass that would destroy 70+ trees and the amazing park for generations (see picture of tree loss).
I did try to secure a Q+A session at the end of her short explainer but the event was designed not to have one.

I do sincerely ask the Honorable MP to please be more kind to people in future and don't interject so rudely. This was the first time we met and it was not convivial. I want Leader St to develop with sound leadership. The problem I see is a State Government beholden to other vested interests and possibly donors and /not/ those of Unley residents. For example, if I'm elected mayor, the 30-Year-Plan for Greater Adelaide will not be recognised by me, and I will seek to have it unrecognised by council.
Also, it should not be your major concern how close a person may live to a subject site, but of the content of their arguments. Please think long-term about what we really need in Adelaide and Unley.

Today at a public meeting. I appear to have 'rubbed' a State MP the wrong way, which was /not/ my intention.
I seek to resist Unley and Greater Adelaide becoming a highly fragile services-based economy with little-to-no productive or value-added business. I was explaining to residents that the bakery on Leader St was in the process of being rezoned for residential development.
The MP walked into the conversation and abruptly blurted, "You are wrong". She then went on to, what I felt was, gaslight me and the people that I was talking to.
Dear Hon. Jayne Stinston MP, this is what the State Government website says:

Welcome to Fediverse!
It looks like we both joined around the same time but I had another account on Fedi, as 'me', in late 2020(?) when I spoke up against proposed overdevelopment on Unley Rd that was actually celebrated by Mayor Michael Hewitson at that time. The account must've been deleted because didn't use it for a year 😔.
(Also to @administrator here, its sub-optimal to remove accounts after a year. I understand why from a disk-space perspective, but even old toots can have a lot of value, for the person who spent time to write them and for the wider community, maybe 3 years is a fair compromise, it still allows deletion but allows people to make public statements that they can follow up with at a later time.)
Anyway, given your transition to fully-FOS and AGPLv3 license services, you may be interested that I'm now running for mayor, not just against overdevelopment but for transitioning council away from using proprietary software and services. 😀
Voters are encouraged to contact me here on Fedi or to IM me (XMPP) directly over I2P... slightly more effort but worth it.
Nice to meet you! -
