Less that the meme is older than them, probably more so they don't realize why we torrent Linux iso's.
I can pull down an ISO in seconds over torrent, whole it takes minutes over https. Also it's nice to add some of the good stuff to the traffic, if only to pad all the illegal traffic with some legitimate stuff.
Jitsi was a pain for me to get working the way I needed it, but I have to say I'm a fan so far. I haven't used it too much yet (mainly just testing with myself from various networks/devices), but from what I can tell it'll work for my use (replacing Google Meet for my family chat uses).
