    Who is the authority that controls the network your bittorrent client uses? Who is the authority that forces you to share? Who is the authority that keeps bad actors from ruining it for everyone else? There isn’t one. Authority and violence are not the only models for providing systems. The fact that you can’t even conceive of consentual systems is kind of scary, like there’s an important piece of your mind missing.

      I feel bad for you, you don’t know how to admit your wrong. There are people that manage which code gets in there and doesn’t. The fact you can’t admit that is sad. Gl in life fr

      You don’t know how to think do you? Bittorrent is a hub created and maintained by someone. Just like lemmy has mods. Please really think before speak.

        No, it’s a peer-to-peer protocol that does not depend on a “hub” or central server. Like, very famously. Trackers exist to facilitate peer discovery, but the protocol allows clients to discover each other through DHT, “distributed lookup network,” with no central server. Maybe you’re too young to remember gnutella but BitTorrent was created to be invulnerable to disruption by doing away with all central servers. Fucking ask an AI before you start insulting people’s intelligence, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

        What about tor? What about i2p? What about gnutella? What about mojonation? What about the federation of Lemmy servers, who is in charge of that? What about FreeNet? What about Bitcoin? What about Ethereum? Bro, do you even code???

        Finding your thesis convincing requires you to be utterly ignorant of the world you are living in, blinded by your own baggage and bullshit and too cowardly to be curious.

          I don’t need to code, who is the authority that codes that hub? Who updates it maintains it please use your brain
