I'm not the creator of this program, but its too fun not to share! The comments from the developer and users joining the swarms on the reddit thread are hilarious.

It's basically a decentralized swarm of docker users. It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to. Some are in the tens of thousands, haha!

The tenfingers sharing protocol, in a nutshell it's free websites / a decentralised file system (FOSS, encrypted, censor resilient, no DNS, no crypto, ...).

Forwart a port to your PC and install a node with a script/simple manual commands/docker image and you're ready to go. But no one does...

Nice - but it's a pretty crowded space between Zeronet and IPFS and possibly others. And even these well-known ones barely see any serious use. And these projects have been promoted pretty heavily. You need fanatical users ;)

Yeah for sure (Fanatic users come to me!) and I don't have the promotional skill or funds, but Zeronet is a bitcoin horror (IMO) and IPFS is like the grandpa of decentralised sharing, cumbersome and lacking simple things like the ability to update a file.

One day it'll take off because of its ease of use and elegance, that's what I keep telling myself anyways 😅!
