Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 A few things:

 * Looks like Facebook goes back about 20 days
 * Twitter notifications technically are just mentions, and they go back
 seemingly forever
 * LinkedIn went back about 3 months

 We could:
 * Have a global maximum for the entire community
 * Allow users to set their own preference (maybe some users don't want to
 keep them ever?)
 * Give users a "Delete read notifications instantly" type setting

 We'd probably need to use a cron job to clean these up, which we've
 avoided needing to use so far, because of known issues with the WPCron API
 on multisite.
