Build Better Webs
summary
Argues for plural "webs" rather than one monolith, urging community-governed networks that are built and run together, not single-owner platforms. Points to existing experiments like the IndieWeb and a solar-powered servers project where the sunniest node serves sites, advocates design for adoption is intrinsic (build for communities so people actually use it), and insists new work be uncapturable so it can’t be absorbed by Big Tech. Calls for more interoperable, local, and collective infrastructure.
