The centralization of the internet poses a fundamental threat to individual freedom. In 2024, a few corporations control most internet services and infrastructure. These corporations wield immense power over most of us with little accountability, enabling them to censor content, exploit our data, and exclude users from services they depend on —all with profound implications for democracy. We need a solution urgently.
Introducing Freenet — a decentralized replacement for the world wide web. Acting as a global, shared, decentralized computing platform, Freenet can either be accessed via a standard web browser or integrated into third-party applications.

Hopefully some apps make use of this technology and develop a following.
The main issue to me is the finding of information. Seems like either everything will have to be shared to every user, or there will have to be a centralized "starting point" to work from.
If every user has to share everything, that might scare some users and limit uptake, both for content reasons and just the time factor. Imagine having to download the entirety of twitter to read what is going on.
If there is a centralized starting point, the filthy kikes will no doubt make that the attack vector and undoubtedly slow expansion.
Looks like this will be a lot like either the dark web or the tor network and most normal users will find the whole process off-putting.
You are right that tor works, but how many people use that as their daily service? If freenet is going to go mainstream it needs to be accessible at a click to everyone without having to jump through hoops - just like the web today.
Tor also relies on centralized servers.
If the decentralized freenet shares all content, then there are immediate limitations to use. Think emails will be sent over freenet? Imagine everybody having copies of everybody else's emails and private chats. Pretty off-putting.
interesting. i wasnt even aware that this existed before since i used to use napster and other similar peer to peer programs. yes my computer caught many viruses and trojans that way too.
the technology sounds amazing and it is much needed as well but security is a concern with these types of decentralized services

Not sure how freenet works but it can copy the Tor solution.
