Yup. Even if you trust all your peers (which isn't reasonable), there's still a ton of practical issues that need to be resolved:

• pagination with a different set of peers
• moderation of CSAM and whatnot
• outdated peers and stale data
• how much data and where are results reduced

It's a really complex problem without getting p2p involved, and p2p just adds a ton of other problems.

So I'm probably going to stick with building my Reddit clone, which I think is simpler (search doesn't need to happen at the start).
