I mean what I said was just getting content from well connected gateways anyway, or uploading to one, like nostr client providers can have their own default gateways and etc. i wasnt talking about p2p ipfs experience.

anyway I checked blossom, (first time hearing about it).
seems similar to what i was thinking with ipfs.
but instead its a cdn protocol basically, i think. didnt deep dive in it yet.

so i believe its like a normal cdn but hash based and has a known format, endpoints. so you can extract the hash (like i said in ipfs). and then check other blossom compatible cdns.
and of course user can give list of blossom cdns on their profile as well.

tbh blossom looks more lightweight and easier to implement for already existing cdn solutions. i see no problems with it.

seems like a more lightweight solution. i liked it.

i still see no problem with supporting both or more. similarly you can share a media with a https ipfs gateway URL, so it works everywhere.
and then while viewing extract the hash and check multiple other gateways with that hash as well using HEAD method.
which would also make those gateways search for the content. distributing the GET traffic more later when more users ask for same thing.

but yeah blossom looks nice, maybe better.
