A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

its already public information that can be scraped with a custom instance, no torrent needed. not really sure what your concern is here
By the host, that host could be Spez
Data is more valuable than ever, bc it can be used to train AI
the fediverse itself is broadcasting all the information publicly. there is no expectation of privacy.
It is 1% better, but it is irrelevant.
The instance can blacklist other instances, the data stored by the host doesn't have to be published. There is also no integrity check of what would be the public data.
The host can do anything it wants with the data, unless we scarpe as much data as we can and release it in p2p network.
if youre that concerned, run your own instance and create this torrenting thing you believe needs to exist.
i doubt you'll get much traction
Good. Let the data flow freely
