I've been thinking about this, some more. This is actually how the Internet started out, with lots of local area networks. And then people started running cables for larger and larger networks, and then eventually figuring out how to bridge the gap between those, with TCP/IP. The Internet has since been captured, censored, and micromanaged by governments and large corporations (but, I repeat myself). They have steadily doubled-down on the centralization, by working together with companies like Twitter, Apple, Google, Tencent, Facebook, etc. to funnel everything you do and say through their political filters. The mess they made of Corona merely made them more aware of the technical loophooles they had left, allowing for their citizenry to politically organize and loudly disagree with their nonsense. They are now busily closing those loophooles. It doesn't make sense, to me, to just do the same thing they are doing, but with a purple bird. That does not bring freedom. Radical freedom is something that will always be a bit subversive, even if it is well-meaning and honest, as most people actually enjoy being told what to do and say, and are quickly upset at the idea that someone might do something or say something that they have never heard of or thought of. Being small, nimble, fluctuating, wiley... passing notes back and forth under the desks at school, flashing secret signs in the hallway, meeting up in person... This is how you gain freedom under tyranny, not by fighting to be class speaker. There is no such thing, after all, of a universal town square. Not even a virtual one. Rather, there are many towns, and each has a square, and you can stand in the Speaker's Corner in each of them, separately, or travel from one to the other and repeat your speech. This is how we win. Global is dead. Long live global. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzphtxf40yq9jr82xdd8cqtts5szqyx5tcndvaukhsvfmduetr85ceqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6tcqyqa60h7ncdwr6m6r53482lfwrzn8wcznn8gg4ps62lg8fr7xw3jeyjrm07r
