The Cancel Culture has lost their platform. It depended on Everyone being on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube.

Yep.
This is how the Internet was designed to work. It pissed me off so damned much that people were whining about the censorship of these asshole companies, instead of just leaving them which is what we USED to do 20 years ago when they pulled this shit.
It's a lot slower than it used to be (it's taken years to get the whining pussies to leave), but it seems they are finally starting to do it.
Google, Facebook and Twitter are going to be as relevant as Yahoo! is in under a decade. Mind you, they aren't EVER going bankrupt, they will just become irrelevant.
Eventually the NEW companies are going to fuck over their users though - then people will finally learn "don't trust corporations". There's already the infrastructure for a distributed Intern...
Well, what are we waiting for. Let's not talk about it...let's do it.

It's basically done - it's just bit-torrent.
What I'm looking into is NAT traversal so you don't have to fiddle with your router which nearly nobody will do or know how to do - there's also the problem of using DHT which is how you find out what computers have what file. DHT isn't efficient.
I'm messing around with IPFS and reading how that works - it's well documented and explained: https://docs.ipfs.io/?source=patrick.net - it's got a bunch of tutorials. It's also using DHT (I think) which is why this is so slow:

Children are abducted right off the street by child prostitution traffickers. So we should ban cars and roads because that is what were used to snatch them and (later) move them from client to client?
Same for drug dealing? How many people dive up to the neighborhood seller under the overpass to conduct said biz, eh?
The only thing sites like youtube, odysee, rumble, etc will do is provide a pointer to your data. They won't store or serve the data itself.
The problem is that most people don't have good upload bandwidth.
If they did, then it would be quite possible for everyone to be hosting content.
Also, most routers and most phones block all incoming connections.
Fix those two problems, and the tech giants will have a giant problem. But I think the ISPs and phone carriers are actively conspiring to limit upload bandwidth.
The Pressure Campaign on Spotify to Remove Joe Rogan Reveals the Religion of Liberals: Censorship
All factions, at certain points, succumb to the impulse to censor. But for the Democratic Party's liberal adherents, silencing their adversaries has become their primary project.
I bet at WORST you will get 128 KB/s upload.
