Very interesting idea. Peertube already does this sorta. The p2p nature means the more traffic/servers, the less load the original instance has to push.

Wasn't that the idea behind zeronet? I think zeronet is dead(?) now, but it was a fun concept. https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet

Interesting, never knew!

I recall https://www.gnunet.org/ but its been a LONG time since ive played around with it.

I like I2p but it doesn't solve the problems that zeronet did.

Will have to look into gnunet though. Not sure what that does, or how.

Its basically i2p but older(?) and harder(?) to use. Its more like tor from what I understand.

https://docs.gnunet.org/latest/guis/gtk.html is a good place to start after the installation from what im seeing.
