Today seems an apt day to repost this: proposals for how to rebuild a web for humans, by humans.

And a small realization of part of the dream: Ringspace, a protocol for cryptographically-verified webrings:

To save the internet, we may have to rebuild it.

@mttaggart I like the "Human Web" idea. I had a lot of those same thoughts in my mind when I was designing Diskuto (https://github.com/diskuto/diskuto-api/#diskuto-api)

But, you touch on aggregators being part of the problem, which it unfortunately took me a little too long to learn.

Aggregators have their purpose, of course. But the more you automate/aggregate things, the more it gets exploited for attention.
