I don't use Freenet but I am pretty sure a lot of users run in open net mode until they get a few peers and then switch to darknet mode using a few of those peers as their entry guards. It depends on what is being published. It definitely puts a lot of restrictions on service providers that Tor does not. But for somebody publishing a .pdf for example, Freenet is probably even better than Tor for the publisher. Freenet also has the advantage of being essentially immune to DDoS attacks knocking services offline. It also has the nice benefit of not requiring somebody to configure a server, or own a server, to publish content. So I would say Freenet is actually much better for publishing content than Tor is, and it has advantages for service providers and publishers in the form of resiliency, but Tor gives much more control and ease of use to people who provide services and is definitely better for service providers. Yeah that is true.
