Isn't the weak point here not Nostr itself, but image hosting services? What's to stop these pictures from just disappearing because sovbit.host is shut down or forced to remove them?

Good point. But the uploading account you're following can keep uploading it somewhere

And then there's still IPFS

So, freedom by whack-a-mole? I suppose that's fair.

What's this IPFS you speak of?

IPFS is a network where you can share files. Each file is stored as its hash and can be requested f.e. from HTTP gateways

You can upload a file via CLI

Would this integrate with Nostr, so that relays could fetch images uploaded to IPFS and display them in clients? Is there a cost to hosting images in this network, or a limit on image size, similar to NIP-95?
