Evan,
You are right - there is a lot of data to show that social networks do
expand in the method being said here, but that data is based on known,
non-anonymous social networks. In an anonymous network the rule of thumb is
trust no one.
If an openet is not the solution, neither is posting information with an
embeded IP number the solution. I don't know how the openet is hackable,
especially if node connections pr paths through nodes change randomly
(TOR-like), but with a manually established network it only takes capturing
1 node and the entire freenet is at risk. I would be more inclined to
exchange node information with someone if the information were encrypted -
private/public key. In an anonymous social network I would be more inclined
to expand that network to others because my node information is encrypted.

Please justify your assumptions.
There is a lot of data on social networks that says that is not how
they look. I see no reason to believe the social networks a freenet
darknet would be built upon would be different.

Yea, but you don't know all the nodes in the network, you just know
the ones your connected to. So if one of those links between the
networks goes down, half your downloads stall out and die. And
wouldn't that put a pretty big strain on certain computers? I mean, if
you get this global network of small networks...90% of the data you
request will probably be on another 'network'. The number of
connections between these networks is going to be a lot smaller than
connections within the network. Therefore the computers that connect
between them are gonna have a much greater strain on them than the
ones that are only linked to one 'network'. And if these individual
networks fully connect and integrate...you have an opennet. Except you
have to physically get your node connections from someone else. So you
have an opennet with much fewer connections, which doesn't seem like a
good thing.
