The new Freenet is written in Rust.

lol - same thing with pilots ;)

Thank you!

You're very welcome :)

When the new Freenet is up and running, I think it will be the first system of any kind that could host something like wikipedia, not just the data but the wiki CMS system it's built on. An editable wikipedia, entirely decentralized and very scalable.

I think when the history of the last decade is written, it will be about - in part - the terrible social damage caused by opaque and biased social media algorithms manipulating the public discourse.

Locutus is primarily designed for decentralization, not anonymity - which will make it less suited to IP theft than various other technologies that are already pervasive, the same is true of a lot of the other "people you don't want to be your early adopters" that you mention. It's definitely a risk for systems like Freenet, but it's a manageable risk.

Most of the negative comments so far are from people who I doubt spent 20 seconds looking at our site, so I hope they don't color your judgement. Read through our user manual and form your own opinion.

Once there are viable alternatives on Freenet we'll use them.

I think the time is right, which is exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing :)

Totally agree about the importance of naming, and Freenet has the advantage of literally describing what we're building - a free network.

We've already had interest from everyone from video game developers who want to build a decentralized MMORPG, to political advocacy groups across the political spectrum. Plenty of people value freedom.

You're being surprisingly judgmental when it doesn't seem like you even read the first few paragraphs on the website about it, let alone the other available documentation.

We're still early but we already have a user manual that goes into quite a bit of detail, if you'd like to take a look and if you still have questions I'd be happy to answer.

"IMHO, there should be a system-wide setting that enables or disables apps' ability to request ratings."

There is. Search in Settings for In-App Ratings & Reviews. And there's an App Review guideline requiring apps to use it and not their own custom prompts.

That's why any rating nag I see always leads to a 1-star rating.

It is important to move all urls to google.com, facebook.com, or amazon.com. Because soon, these will be the only 3 websites. GOOG and FB already account for 70% of internet traffic, with AMZN in much of the remainder. This is why all three corporations have mobile apps - so that you don't need that pesky browser that can access other sites. So much angst over DNS and ICANN - but soon DNS will be irrelevant. You'll need a Google or Facebook group. https://staltz.com/the-web-beg...
