#filehosting should be #filetype #agnostic

these non-inclusive rasist file hosts who only accept

image/png, image/jpg, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/webp, video/mp4,, video/quicktime, video/mpeg, video/webm, audio/mpeg, audio/mpg, audio/mpeg3 and audio/mp3

are not solving real problem which is: how to host ((any file)) and ((keep it available)) for ((anyone who wants to download it))

(wish there was bold text)

just as nostr relays are dump, they dont discriminate based on note content, so should any file host be

if file host does not allow uploading virus.exe, it is built wrong. build it again, build it the way they (who want to take your file down) don't know where the file originates

are #nostr #devs ignoring potential of #tor #i2p?

we should #build

#nostr #relays behind tor

#filehosting behind tor

nostr #clients using only tor

build systems where they don't know the origin of the content

when they don't know the origin of content, even single #server gains enormous power

even single server don't have to take any file down

because it is cloaked, they don't know where it is and who is keeping it up

this is the potential of #tor, #i2p, people don't realize

the source of #404 you see on the internet is #dmca take down notices and scared server owners

however what is needed, are reliable tor services

tor services tend to be unreliable

although another solution is to use service announcements

eg. service publishes event on relays saying it is available in some specified address
