Most of the problems in the current internet landscape is caused by the cost of centralized servers. What problems are stopping us from running the fediverse on a peer to peer torrent based network? I would assume latency, but couldn’t that be solved by larger pre caching in clients? Of course interaction and authentication should be handled centrally, but media sharing which is the largest strain on servers could be eased by clients sending media between each other. What am I missing? Torrenting seems to be such an elegant solution.

    Gotta love the heavy use of buzzword technologies and no actual information on what is actual is. Then you click the “How does it work?” button and it takes you to a Google powerpoint… so much for the sleek website design.
