Nice read. Am a fan of this idea still. 11y later and it doesn't seem like it happened but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Who knows. I think it would be great if everyone maintained their own slice.

The obvious canidite completely not mentioned being onion services which make building the hypothetical web he writes about simple today.

These are great ideas, and I wanted to implement some, in earlier incarnations, for years. I think we are all exhausted by the evil done by big tech bros, and most of my "great ideas" ended up being not as much innovative as damage control for blasts to our privacy, agency and autonomy.

One might have to tunnel through the internet to find some solace, and especially so that my friends don't have to solve endless CAPTCHAs just so we can communicate. It has gone to HELLM.
