IPFS is crap, and blossom makes far more sense :)
Trying to provide data availability guarentees using fancy pancy tricks is a stupid endevour.
Just accept its stuff on drives, and more drives is more redudant. As such the only thing you need is a unique identifier and a method of sharing on what drives those uniquely identified things can be found (Nostr itself follows the same principle). Its the most grugbrain approach and by the looks of it it might actually just work. Whereas....does IPFS actually work?
You can set up your own blossom server if you want. And you can also set up your own relay while you are at it.
