We were talking on #freenet on how to explain new users in a few words (installer?) what freenet's security is all about and how to "warn" them of the shortcomings of opennet. I came up with the following text: "Freenet's security and anonymity is based on the idea that users connect to people they trust. Opennet mode (=LOW security level) is a convenience feature for new users who don't have trusted peers yet and it's security is not as strong as darknet (= MEDIUM/HIGH security level). Use this mode to befriend people you think you can trust. Get the highest security out of freenet by connection to your reallife friends!" somehow there's still missing that even connecting to a coworker is better than a random stranger, but I still struggle to put it into one of the sentences...
