Hey, try to be a social-nationalist anywhere, you'll probably even get jailed for your political opinions.
Freenet is well designed and well maintained, but it is a solution looking for a problem. We dont yet life in the police state where everyone's political opinions need to be hidden in dark networks. At the moment, freenet has a bad reputation for hosting very illegal content.

Sorry I’m not tech savvy! How is this different from Tor?
Louis Rossmann recently did an interview with Ian Clarke (founder of the freenet project) and it is a pretty good dive into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoV9amsnaQg
I had to rewind a few times. Is Clarke saying the covid "lab leak" theory was censored and turned out to be true?

No, do not try to be a communist, anywhere. It's a horrible political philosophy.
Vietnam. Cheap life, good life, friendly people. None of this "I'll try to screw you over and steal your money, because money is all that interests me"
You have no idea.

You don't live in a police state. My Russian friends definitely do. You can easily get a large fine (on the order of 2 average monthly salaries), or 5-10 years in prison for stating your political opinion on the internet. There are many countries like that and I am not at all surprised that the top comment does not even acknowledge their existence.
