This is the grift.
The "libertarians" want to be able to host their CSAM, sorry, their "freedom materials" on everyone's servers in such a way that nobody can ever "silence their freedom" because it would mean silencing the cat gifs, too. Want to be "on the net"? Well, you absolutely have to agree to host anyone else's content without question at all times. But, it's okay, we'll pay you with... coins!
- diggan 3y agoLike many others, you seem to not really grasp how IPFS works. Nothing gets distributed automatically. Besides, how on earth is your argument even relevant when we're talking about content-addressing as a whole, without involving IPFS at all?
- numbsafari 3y agoI get how IPFS works. I think the problem you have is that you can't distinguish between IPFS and CAS. Lots of things use CAS, not just IPFS. The specific case you outline can be served by existing technology, without having to introduce magic coins, beans, or other distractions. I was pretty interested in IPFS prior to it being overtaken by web3 grifters.
