What does “break the app” entail? We’d still see notes, just not the media? Or would it be something more serious?

The gif feature would stop working
This is a fair concern for you to have, but all you would have to do is make a note about how a centralized service broke the feature and we'd all zap and feel your pain, not blaming you for it at all.

People always tell me they come back to damus because it’s reliable. There’s a reason it’s reliable, it’s exactly because I don’t have many centralized integrations. The only main one is nostr.build, and it’s the most complained about thing when it goes down or when users hit the upload limit.
If i didn’t have these principles then damus wouldn’t be damus. People can say i’m not listening to users (which is not true), i am just not going to make damus more brittle over time. My goal is that it will keep working even after I’m dead, even with noone around to maintain it.
