Retroshare seems like a p2p Facebook rather than a file-sharing network
It suffers from the (need to be a nerd) barrier. Getting people off Facebook requires the minimum amount of friction possible.
If we’re talking friends or family then build and host a mastodon or matrix server. Call it “Tommy’s Bistro” friends/family only. Even with all of this effort you’re competing against a facebook setting to keep a post restricted to friends/family only.

The p2p aspect is what interests me, though.
