I've always been impressed with the idea of bittorrent. Would that work for messages, instead of files? Does this exist already?

We are still gathering on servers, which are all susceptible to political action.

same as any foss project. not unlike those, new ones can always be created.

it is natural that reactionary individuals and states will eventually control a good chunk of them, since that's the hegemonic ideology.

if you know of a better, even more decentralized way to have a public forum, i would love to try it out.
