I think that Blossom can be "the IPFS that works", but just in theory. I haven't seen its magical link-resurrection capabilities working in practice.
Maybe a simple start would be an app where you can post a Nostr event reference and it would do the appropriate Blossom link-replacing there for you, in case you're on a client that doesn't do that automatically.
Can you link me to a good resource for digging into blossom?
It's this. It's allright, useful for prototyping, but wont compete with ipfs.
The Blossom specs are not clear on its potential. This is better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksFndK4BZME
how about this pull
Even if Blossom would not work, the mere fact of not being associated with a shitcoin and stupid VC money makes it more likable than IPFS. 😛
Yes, waiting for the bud that actually describes a way to deliver on the media in a decentralized way..
Alex Gleasson did a great job with blossom uploader for nostrify(as a ditto can store media there), which script I am using to bot upload random media to blossoms(including my own), and the bot posts the link in notes on feed of whichever responds first. These links to media in note work even if the said blossom(from the domain in note link) is down as it finds the other blossoms upstream, same hash (which is how a blossom-server is configured to work) and still runs the media. That is working in clients as we speak, the only problem is with clients that need the media extention to display, link still works. The bud that you are looking for is 04 as option which is for mirroring of the blobs instead of reuploading everywhere.
