Unfortunately, this is only one-way communication.

Indeed, an autonomous crypto-net this is not, but interesting nonetheless as an iteration towards that end. Their mixed Freemium model of publicly sourced and promoted content, where the latter pays a fee to short-circuits the review for inclusion voting queue (https://www.outernet.is/broadcast) is reminiscent of certain funding proposals designed to support for-profit public libraries, as an alternative to the more common subscription-gated access.

Within this same ecosystem of technologies, what capacity for amateur radio operations do you envision your 68K computer will have, Alex?

The current proposed Outernet receiver is based on a Raspberry Pi [0], but given that there are amateur radio peripherals for the C64, and at least one extant Amiga Ham group [1], this should indicate more a modern overcompensation than an actual hardware baseline.
