A suggestion for Mastodon to use relative URLs and UUIDs for assets (images, etc.) in profiles and posts instead of linking directly to object storage.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/36862
This would:
• Simplify things for third-party apps and simplify the API (if implemented for assets in profiles)
• Help in migrations (if implemented for assets in posts)
• Make it possible to switch object storage backends without losing all assets (eg., move away from AWS)
Thoughts?
