P2P Network Alternatives
Commenters propose peer-to-peer (P2P) networks like BitTorrent, IPFS, and Spotify's early model as decentralized solutions to replace centralized servers, aiming to cut costs, bandwidth, and single points of failure, while discussing challenges like NAT, firewalls, and initial connectivity needs.

P2P networks are made for this.
Spotify used P2P in the early days for this reason I belive. Worked out for them.
Is there something like this but p2p?
What about some form of P2P for this?
Aren't there some distributed, peer-to-peer networks that could be used for this purpose?
there's no good open p2p stack that would be able to support it (eliminating the need for servers would be priority #1 for such project)
P2P networking or self-hosting?
Peer to peer internet is what is missing I suppose.
Peer to peer internet would work well.
If only there existed a peer to peer solution that doesn't require trusting a central host
