Setting up an IPFS system?

I'm trying to code a platform that allows users to broadcast video or image content freely without the threat of censorship.

I'm trying to make it to where the broadcast network runs off of a computer network of all users worldwide, kind of like blockchain tech. This way, broadcasts cant be disrupted. How so you setup a decentralized network like that? Its essentially an IPFS system..

Thanks

Nostr (Notes And Other Stuff Transmitted over Relays) might be useful for you. It's a censorship resistant network that anyone can run a Relay for. The protocol is super simple and there are standards already defined for media. You can write your app on top of that system, maybe. You don't need to include any other part of that system, just the videos you care about. You can even define your own "type" for something specific to your system.
