    yeah i’m not going to put in the effort of creating a torrent for some local file i made on my system and then teach people how to use traditional method of download outside of an app store (this assuming they even have a PC since most people only have phones nowadays and then you can forget torrents), install and setup a bittorrent client (after explaining what a client is and does) only so i can drag and drop a torrent file into the chat for them to download LIKE WE USED TO BE ABLE TO DO WITH ALL FILES back in the day. the point is; software technology has literally and artificially been REGRESSED to 56k era limitations.

      I’m talking about technology, not UX.

      And bittorrent is an example of something that was done technically and socially right so it’s still alive and isn’t going anywhere.

      So - how does one make a p2p FOSS messenger that people will use. Skype is proprietary, but the closest thing to success in recent history (not counting IRC with XDCC, amateur radio, light signals and pigeons).
