Torrents have little to offer when you aren’t pirating bulky media files. And don’t track frequent release versions, code repos, or integrate with distribution packaging ecosystems.
Is there any practical reason they would offer torrent downloads?

federated filters built by user-submitted signals collected by their clients.
E.g. you add the “SuperBotAway” plugin, you flag bottish activity, your flags are aggregated with other SuperBotAway users and a model is trained, server operators or users may choose to deploy SuperBotAway-CommunityFilteringModel-20251210
But it’s going to be a very hard problem, especially without the global view a centralized operator has, And with the communities desire not to reveal every posters, IP address and other meta-data.

Did you make a similar comment to OP, who only spoke negatively of a well-used and well-understood system?

RF ICs (MMICs) may have Beryllium Oxide ceramic packages - if broken/shattered/ground the dust is very toxic.
You may find mercury bulb switches. Not dangerous unless broken, but keep them out of the hands of unaware people.

Certain minimum knowledge is required if you don’t want to be low hanging fruit for criminal botnet operators who will use your system to launch attacks.
You can’t also beg/complain about tools “made for you” not existing - if they’re not already there, it may mean the problem can’t be reduced to appliance-user level.

i’m sorry, but it will not ruin your social life if people find out you’re a virgin.
Adults grow out of that hyperfixation on perceived group approval - but it probably doesn’t even matter in high school. Adults don’t ask each other about this stuff. It sounds like some manosphere incel BS.
