    I know nothing technical about how the fediverse works, but I can potentially see a bittorrent-like future for the fediverse, with people contributing spare compute power or bandwidth to the network when they’re online.

      torrents worked on a massive scale is because

      • it’s a “run and forget” kind of technology
      • not real-time
      • very less resources per user is required
      • a sizable portion (not a lot) of users participated equally
