Tahoe-LAFS in the default configuration don't rely on unknown nodes, so
there Sybil isn't a problem. And because of in-built authentication of all
data, a Sybil attack could at most prevent access to the data (or just to
chosen parts of or versions of the data), a form of denial of service.
Can't fake the data.

The I2P version could be affected (as it is configured to mimic Freenet).
Standard usage isn't.
