In an ideal world any hosts have an IPv6 global and any human have at least a domain name, with relevant subdomains for hes/shes own devices, a simple thing also offered to non technical users by ISPs in the form of a homeserver-router like the real one they offer but not crap, without violation of GPL, without doing their development just to milk data from users etc.
So in an ideal world anyone can share files directly, can serve their own blog, participating in decentralized socials like Usenet, exchange messages in a decentralized manner like emails (not to be confused with WebMails frontends common today), having direct IP2IP (well, personal domain to personal domain) VoIP calls with or without video and so on.
Such ideal world is there technically, it's not utopia technically but it's utopia socially in a society who have mostly chosen ignorance for the many and abuse of their ignorance for few.

- kkfx 3y agoI think governments like the large availability of OSINT data from big tech, in a technically sound IT such giant collections would be far harder and limited... Similarly the effectiveness of modern propaganda would be far limited. The power of IT is the power to store, analyze, craft, manipulate information, if you give it to the most than the most can be Citizen not just slaves...
