So, is IPFS more than Freenet + a fresh coat of 2017 paint?

- diggan 9y agoYeah, I would say the biggest difference is in how content gets reshared. With Freenet, content gets reshared by nodes as soon as it enters the network, and users are unaware of what content exactly they are sharing. While IPFS is not implicitly pushing content but nodes needs to request content and then reshare it.
- STRML 9y agoThis is very important, because it removes some of the most prevalent criticisms about Freenet. If you don't agree with some content (re: legality or any reason you wish), don't access it/share it. Freenet doesn't give you that choice, but IPFS does.
