5/10

Media goes to your own node, referenced as ipfs://. No third-party image host, nothing to rot when a service folds or decides your file is a problem. Any size too, video streams straight off disk rather than being loaded whole.

Up to 10 files per note. Video and photos get metadata stripped first, and HEVC gets converted so it plays for everyone.

If your node can't serve a file, Nosdag races public IPFS gateways. If those fail too you get an honest "media resting" marker instead of a broken image.
