Like many here I want to dig the spirit of this but I am confused about the concrete steps / tools they're describing. It always seemed to me like ultimately the problem with getting free of the big web would be the physical infrastructure side of the equation. The modern web does feel controlled by information age rentiers but growing up in the 90s that always felt like an unavoidable given to me. I was under the impression that the freedom of the web lay in the freedom of information and the subsequent empowerment of individuals to maneuver through and undermine larger systems of power.
