RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

There will be two internets: the first will require proof of identity and everything you do will be tied to that identity - forget anonymity forever. The second will be an "underground" one that is significantly more difficult for the average idiot to get onto. It'll use wherever replaces TOR since TOR is known to be vulnerable to tracking as well. There will be complete anarchy, and it'll be a real PITA to do anything. Nobody & no site will be trustworthy, and you'll have to exchange encryption keys & whatnot offline IRL with anyone you want to communicate with in a vaguely trustworthy fashion.
You read about Digg, didn't you?
Busted
Lol I'm legit wondering what was meant by mentioning Digg, just saw an article it was gonna come back but got overwhelmed with bots and Ai?
Is there... more to it?
That sounds exactly like I2P.
However, I think a global mesh network with an encrypted layer would be better. With micro transactions for delivery.
...We're going back to the postal service, but with fun little mystery ciphers!
That's my line of thinking. I never got much junk mail with a stamp on it.
Get out of here with that crypto shit. The delivery costs are practically nothing as network hardware has grown in capability. The only reason blockchain shitware has a cost associated with it is its monumental inefficiency due to the proof of work bollocks it has to do.
The costs of network infrastructure is always diminishing.
OK, how else can we stop bots, spam, and relentless scraping of everything?
