Fediverse Object Storage

⁂

With an obj-URI, one has the addressing mechanism for an Object Storage.

Fediverse Servers replicate data from one server onto another server.

That means that an obj-URI addressed Object Storage on the Fediverse is a replicated Object Storage.

A replicated Object Storage is almost a Fediverse-native CDN. Almost.

You could build a FediCDN on this.

acct-URI like URI for content

⁂

We have acct-URI for referring to actors.

We resolve this to an HTTP-URI using WebFinger.

⁂

We don't have an acct-URI like URI for referring to an actor's content.

Which would also be resolved with WebFinger.

⁂

I think there are many advantages to being able to refer to content separate from where it is stored.
