I have always wondered if there is some way to make a distributed network which provides content in such a way that users' freedoms are maximized. I don't particularly like handing over all control of my data and internet presence to cloud providers. IPFS looks really, really cool!

As ot asked, I am also curious about how this compares to other efforts to create decentralized networks, like Freenet and GNUnet. I definitely plan to pick one in the coming weeks and start using it, hope this catches on.
