What does Nostr have to do with it? To post links to archive.org or share torrents, Nostr wasn’t needed before — and it still isn’t needed now.

The work of Archive.org isn’t Nostr’s achievement. All Nostr can do right now is flood a couple hundred relays with spam.

Data wise it aint on nostr and thats a fair point.

I’m not even sure this data should be here. Nostr is a primitive protocol made for social projects and all those interaction things — why do we even need media here? So that 245 out of 250 relays crash right away?

We’ve got IPFS 😆 — let them deal with the media.

The media isnt held on a nostr relay its just linked in the note.

What does Instagram have to do with NOT BEING ABLE TO POST MOVIES FROM archive.org ? 😜

Don’t even try. You people on Nostr keep posting photos to that HTTP trash heap nostr.build — a single DNS issue there and you lose all your media. To make it look a bit less pathetic, slapped Blossom on the side... Did it help? Let’s see. Again nostr.build, again DNS. No, it didn’t solve the problem at all.

But hey, at least now you can post links to archive.org and count that as Nostr’s achievement — even though it’s way easier for me to just go to Archive itself and find those films there. Unlike Nostr, its search actually works.

The point is that Nostr has nothing to do with media — it solves nothing and helps in no way in that area. For Nostr, media simply doesn’t exist; and for media, Nostr doesn’t exist either. In fact, Nostr is downright bad for media — it’s easy to come up with a protocol that would do a much better job.

It’s more the point that many clients don’t have any restrictions on the lengths of video playback

Because those restrictions are harder to implement 😄
