Comment on Making a Simple Self-Hosted Photo Gallery With IPFS
chiisana@lemmy.chiisana.net 11 months agoAs with a lot of things in the crypto adjacent space, they’re offering a solution looking for problems. Some problems (such as storing and distributing files) are essentially solved (many cheap providers for both storage, distribution, and/or both to choose from), while others (such cryptographically secured immutable ledger for provenance tracking in specific use-cases) might benefit from the technology. Knowing which is which and where to adopt what tech is the challenging part.

I’m 100 percent with you here, I definitely feel like the IPFS “crowd” is trying to find a usefulness, and I hope they do. I’m all for decentralized, protected communication, storage and so on! If you need a proof of that just ask and I’ll deliver.
But it feels like they are still looking for that usefulness.
I’m not even here saying “prove me this or that”, but I do question the usability which I understand can be felt like an attack for some people.
