For too long imo, piracy had become a “grab it all” environment. The old “Caring is Sharing” mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

As others have said, lack of privacy is what makes BitTorrent not the best tool.
Other things may be inconvenient (like good old XDCC or using Google Disk for piracy), or “invisible Joe” (like ed2k, gnutella and Usenet, due to all of these just not being sufficiently monitored by law enforcement or neighbors interested in your porn taste) cases.
And Freenet, I2P (with iMule and what else there is, there was some sharing thing similar to ed2k in experience), RetroShare are not sufficiently popular.
In general good things are not popular.
My point is, let’s wait for Locutus and whether it succeeds in transforming the Web.
What is Locutus. Couldn’t find anything of substance searching for it.
Edit: it helps if your autocorrect doesn’t interfere… https://github.com/freenet/locutus
