Filesystems don't rely on space voluntarily donated by others, and that's the critical difference here.
Freenet is designed for sharing information, not archiving it. You can't have both.
- notacoward 8y agoOther systems have also relied on space voluntarily donated by others, and still made the choice to behave as storage systems instead of messaging systems with some history. Or caches that just happen to turn over slowly because the system's too slow and unusable to create cache pressure. If Freenet ever had really taken off, you would have had to deal with these issues. Sharing information doesn't work when the information falls out before the recipient can get it.
