you don't like freenet or dat ('pear'). Which p2p framework meets your strict purity requirements?
I just didn't think there was much of a point in using peer to peer for this particular application since I intended to be its moderator anyway.

I liked i2p, back when you could compile it from source. i2pd is pretty rad. Gnunet is pretty nice, needs a lot of work though. Scuttlebutt is neat but doesn't scale, and is confusing enough that it was why I started disliking javascript.
Anyway my point is you're not going to have a secure network if it's centralized, and the one centralizing it wants to pull shit. Even hash chains, people just magically find that the hash chain is different than before and what are they going to do?

can you be less of a sarcastic dickwad, please?Well I did say it was a rant. I don't think I've been either sarcastic or a dickwad in this thread.

GNUnet has a "fs" module designed pretty much like Freenet, except it's open source so easier to audit. With some nice Sybil resistance in the R5RS paper. Except it y'know, needs a lot of work. And you said your forum would be centralized, so you could just put it on an I2P "eepsite" and be pretty secure.
I honestly haven't been involved in any of that since like 2018 when java I2P went closed source, so my information might be dated. I still run I2PD at times, though the developers speak Russian so it's hard to participate.

What do you mean?
