Show HN: Freenet 2024 – a drop-in decentralized replacement for the web [video]
It’s not the same team. The Freenet Team is developing Hyphanet now.
Ian had not been active in Freenet development for over a decade (he managed the non-profit but didn’t interact with actual development) before he started Locutus. He initially started Freenet in 1999, but had long been absent.
Hyphanet is the original Freenet and the next release is just blocked by finalizing the new signing setup for the Windows installer. See https://github.com/hyphanet/fred/releases/tag/build01498

A player-owned RPG - would you want to participate in such a game?
Instead of use of Blockchain you could also use Freenet . The only bad thing here data could be lost, but mostly only data is lost when not used. This could be used to auto purge forks that most people dislike. If for example some reason there are multiple alternatives how the story goes some of them will die after a while and removed from system.
