I would keep experimenting with making them the default for image sharing, and we should definitely use torrents more for videos and music.

My caveman brain can't even code, but I think git repo torrents would also be fine with the right infrastructure in place. BitTorrent for hosting full version snapshots, as many as the community feels like seeding; nostr for actively collaborating on each snapshot to develop updates

These are fine ideas in theory, but the amount of complexity and necessary code and network-effect they would require in practice should be factored in your thinking.

Alright, I read your post and didn't know enough to understand it, but I saw DNS reliance was part of the problem it's trying to solve

What if we made it Tor-only and used onion services to solve DNS reliance?

Or what if we moved DNS to a blockchain or solved it some other way?

Is this still relevant for other reasons?
