Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

IPFS is designed to minimise duplication. nostr is designed to be censorship resistant… via mass duplication. These are not the same. If we want nostr relays inside eg China the best place to host the source code for those relays is in many nostr relays and not static IPFS addresses that can be easily blocked by CAC.

If China can block git, it can block nostr as well since they would need to block all http, ssh and ftp traffic to the outside. China cannot block git, but they can block github. Rebuilding github on nostr (using git) would be more fruitful imo. git itself is extremely decentralized and censorship resistant, supports a multitude of underlying network protocols including tor and i2p.
