I think it would be really cool, don’t you think the same?

Like, using Iroh + INS for a fully descentralized, uncensorable, undeletable, non-redundant, fast, secure, private, efficient, directionable CAS, then binding that to ActivityPub —or even better, ActivityPods—, so you can register to the instances that are archiving what is more interesting to you and subscribe to the archivists and topics you prefer.

Wouldn’t be cool? Or do you think it’s not as good as it seems to me?

Edit: I mean, archiving the Web, like Wayback Machine (with a similar UX) but descentralized and 100% FLOSS.

    I don’t think so, because IPFS is just more sort of a framework and platform to those kind of applications, something as Nostr or some types of S3 storages, or a CDN. What’s necessary thus is all the business logic, the specialized nodes and clients, the metadata, identifiers and namespaces so that that application is not just a directory spread over IPFS (or in our case, Iroh, which is much better than the vanilla IPFS node, Kubo). Something also like in HTTPS you don’t see a lot of loose hyperlinks, but rather applications that use HTTPS underneath as another layer.

      i don’t see why it has to be specialised. you could do this with mastodon today. just post every ipfs uri as a message.

        It’s better in my view. It can be done but then it’s again scattered. Like, what I think about is something like Wayback Machine but totally FLOSS and descentralized.
