Just looked up Veilid seems to similar to I2P, but it is still in development and can't be used for now. Also I agree that IPFS is horrible and not just the setup, the developer themselves are against piracy. What is the point of a decentralised network that picks and chooses what it hosts? BitTorrent, Tor, Freenet, and I2P never did this as far as I know.

I think you're all making look a bit worse than it is. I downloaded a few PDFs via IPFS and it worked for me. And I was happy it provided me with what I needed at that time. I can't comment on reliability or other nuances. It also was slow in my case, but I took that as the usual trade-off. Usually, you either get speed or anonymity, not both. And there are valid use-cases for denylists. For example viruses, malware, CSAM and spam. I'd rather not have my node spread those. It's complicated. And I also talk in public like that. I think what matters is what you do and implement, not if you say you comply with regulation and the DMCA...
Thanks for the links, I'll have a look.
What are talking about, IPFS isn't anonymity network, it is similar to torrenting everyone can see your ip.
I thought it had that factored in. But yeah, if it's bittorrent, just as a CDN, this isn't anonymous. I'll look it up.
When I first heard of IPFS, I also thought it was anoymous, but I researched and it just like bittorrent everyone can see your IP. You have to use VPN.

If you want an anonymous P2P try freenet or I2P. There is also a new anonymous network currently being developed called Vailid which seems promising.
So use an anonymyzing network overlay if you want anonymity.
