The new Freenet is primarily focused on decentralization rather than anonymity - however anonymizing systems (like mixnet, onion routing) can be layers on top of it as services. Here are the key differences between new Freenet (Locutus) and

I think my key realization was that the more serious threat was centralization, and so the focus with the new Freenet is decentralization. Anonymity systems can be built on the new Freenet - these will likely be based on mixnets or onion ro

It's a drop in replacement for everything north of the user's web browser - so it's drop-in from the perspective of the user, but centralized services need to be recreated for it. We're already working on a decentralized

In theory you are right, but in practice a handful of companies control the services everyone uses and the infrastructure behind it. The fundamental problem is that the web is client-server, which inherently leads to concentration of power

We're working toward our first working prototype, right now you can play with our SDK[1], and learn about how to build decentralized software[2]. You can check out our roadmap[3] with realtime estimates of when we will hit various mile

Nice, let me know if you have questions.

Yes, the previous Freenet was experimental which led to it being quite clunky. Aside from using Rust rather than Java, the other main differences between Fred (original Freenet) and Locutus (new Freenet) are: Functionality: Fred is analogou

Thank you :)

That was the goal for a while, Locutus was a working title for Freenet's successor.

I2P is an anonymizing proxy but I2P hidden services still run on a single machine, just anonymized. With the new Freenet the services themselves are decentralized [1]. You can think of the new Freenet as a global decentralized computer runn

What we need is a common platform, an operating system for building interoperable and scalable decentralized services. This is exactly what we're building with https://docs.freenet.org/ .

My parents got me an Atari 800XL for my 8th birthday in 1985. It came with a very terse list of Basic commands along with a few program listings from which I learned how to program. Stuck with Atari over the years, through an 520STfm, and e

It's very interesting to see Discord used in this way, along with other uses like MidJourney. Makes me wonder if a service custom-designed as a "general purpose user interface" might be useful to people, it's something I

Napster wasn't decentralized, it relied on a centralized index which is why it was shut down. Gnutella relied on a broadcast search which didn't scale. Freenet's use of small world routing to be both decentralized and scalabl
