IPFS would still be a good candidate for media attachments in Mastodon, potentially saving quite a bit of resources in bandwidth and storage.
The performance of ipfs gateways has improved a lot lately, so even without a native ipfs:// protocol handler that could work nicely in clients.

- rakoo 4y agoThere are multiple libraries and software giving you a gateway, but there's no public gateway. It would fall into problematic use in less than an hour because of the insanity that IP is, and it would completely contradict the whole idea of being decentralized
