For fuck's sake, some of my fellow leftists are so authoritarian and overbearing, I wouldn't put them in charge of a colony of ants, let alone a human society.

It's an illusion. Client-server architecture exists far a reason. One thing p2p networks are famously awful at is saving state (meaning, data). This makes any kind of permanence very-very hard. That's why most p2p networks are either ad-hoc and stateless, or based on distributed databases everybody have to save and update for all peers - think blockchain. Or use "supernodes" and oh, shit, here we go again, now we have servers in a p2p environment.
And it's not for the lack of trying, mind you. I've been watching the Tox project trying to implement things as basic as multiple devices owned by one person and offline messaging. They failed miserably because they just couldn't find a place to store contact lists, device lists and offline messages. There was also Scuttlebutt project, who tried social networking in p2p, and it was such a mess, it basically dead by now.
@w96k I mean, if you want to have something accessible permanently on demand in p2p environment where nobody owes anyone anything including staying online for any measure of time, you either have to make a blockchain (make everyone save everyones' state basically forever), or accept that you want to keep some nodes online always, and guess what a node that's always online is called?

стало быть, выстраивается некая сравнительная ось, где есть леваки, муравьи и сасаити.
муравьи это 0, сасаити 1, значит леваки допустим -1, противопоставление на лице
@kpmy У всех бед на Руси, как и во всем мире, причины комплексные и многофакторные.
Я допускаю, что я - один из факторов, но давай все же не бросать всю ответственность за все несчастья в отдельно взятой стране на меня и мое нежелание бодаться с незнакомым человеком, которому я ничего не должен, я не настолько крутой.
