Using Mastodon with Backblaze B2

Mastodon can store its assets in Amazon S3 (it speaks the S3 protocol). But it does not, by default, speak to Backblaze B2.

There are a couple of reasons why you might want that:

• you already know and trust B2
• it's cheaper
• you do not want to make your instance dependent on AWS
• etc.

"Easily the best NYT News Alert I've ever gotten"

Picture says: "Supreme Court Ruling in Contraception Case", then underneath:
"The Supreme Court has ruled on whether for-profit corporations may advance claims based on religious freedom."
Then highlighted: "Our reporters are reading the decision and will update this article as soon as they feel confident about its basic meaning."
