i am reminded of something @Sirius was saying recently on the notedeck call about using webrtc for sharing files and blobs between users p2p.
making media and filesharing censorship resistant is something I want to invest heavily into notedeck and damus android. blossom is cool, but so is p2p tech like bittorrent v2 and webrtc filesharing.

As others mentioned, IPFS is great in theory and quite a pain in practice. Here in NOSTR there is Blossom which tends to work far better and just about anywhere.
