Seems like those big accounts always choose to go from corporate platform to another corporate platform. They almost never choose to move to the fediverse.

Who wants to be CEO of lemmy btw? You'll have no power over anything, but we can call you that from now on as a joke.
I did add torrent magnet link support to lemmy-ui and jerboa (I think its not deployed yet for jerboa tho). But yes I agree, inline or inplace torrent viewing (for images specifically) is something that ppl should absolutely be working on.
Def. I forget how the quote goes exactly, but Hemingway - "Humanity owes a debt to the red army that can never be repaid."
This is a completely solved problem for 24 years now (static data distribution), via torrents.
Part of the reason why the transition to agriculture was so difficult, is because that is true. Agriculture is a lot of work, and requires a lot more labor time than the hunter-gatherer mode of production.
Of course in the long run, agricultural societies end up overcoming hunter-gatherer ones, because they're able to support a much larger population.
There's still a lot of actually important work that needs doing, like solving world hunger, poverty, and homelessness (which unfortunately most countries aren't paying people to do, except for a few), but for the most part this quote is spot on:
Nice. Pretty happy that most of the fediverse, and most lemmy instances, are blocking threads.
I'm convinced its a combination of media silence on the fediverse (so most people don't know about it as an alternative), and younger audiences who don't know the history.
Because I can't imagine why grown adults who know the history of these companies, would do the goofy I'll fkn do it again meme, ten times in a row.

I think its very possible to do with any native apps, where you can bundle in a small torrent librar. Maybe not iOS, because I think they don't allow torrents, but android and all desktops its possible to load / preload things like images, audio, and video inline. Its not too possible via the web, because most webbrowsers don't have any bundled torrent libraries.
I have my own thoughts about webtorrents (they didn't really survive, while the regular torrent network is still strong). It'd be possible to do with webtorrents solely to solve the fact that browsers don't have regular torrent support, but seeders would be hard to come by, so I don't think it'd work too well.
