You can solve a ton of social problems with technical solutions.
100 different, easy to integrate internets federated across a number of different communication technologies and protocols is actually very hard to regulate and capture.
Sure, you won't have another Facebook, but we children of the 70s, 80s,and 90s would ser value in that.

- PaulDavisThe1st 5mo agoWhen I was but a youngster, the "internet" part of "internet protocol" was precisely that. When I was a novice programmer, we used to move packets between DECnet, IP and X.500 networks all the time. When I didn't know much about computers, networks were federated by default. The thing is, time went by and we realized that IP was just better than all the others, and everybody started using it for everything. And if you're making the claim that the root of problems like walled gardens and enshittification is the internet protocol ... get outa here.
