It would be really cool if you'd sticky this on the front page!)
Lots of posts asking, "Where do we go now?".
Free speech on the darpanet is an oxymoron. It's like meeting your crack dealer at the local dtug store counter to do the deal. Ideally, we'd all go out into meatspace and interact with our communities like normal humans, but for many, mostly due to the dysevolutionary, crippling, and disconnecting effects of civilization/domestication, meatspace interaction just isn't an option.
I've posted this before, but no one was interested because they can't watch porn, or distract themselves with zog propaganda movies or games over a network like this, but recent events seem to be straightening out people's priorities, so I thought I'd give it one more try.
These are the steps necessary to create an antifragile, decentralized, autonomous, anonymous, encrypted, text only, public communications network:
Create your own local p2p meshnet using scrap routers and the modified open source routing software of your choice.
Create a social media like site, but text only, to conserve bandwidth and storage, and prevent abuse, that allows access to the meshnet.
Require a small Monero bond to open an account.
Use a community rating system like voat's to curate posts, but when a post gets a certain number of down votes, or is reported as spam/scam, send it to a pool of moderators that are randomly chosen from a list of members that are in good standing.
Incentivize participation in the moderator pools with a portion of the bonds that get forfeited when people are banned.
Track it all on a blockchain, with full disclosure of source code, financial transfers, and moderator actions, which the community can also vote on, potentially resulting in moderating of moderators, ad infinitum.
Use the remainder of the forfeited bonds to incentivize network growth, including long range repeaters, drone repeaters, vibration/wind/solar powered repeaters magnetically attached to unknowing route delivery vehicles, public transit, and utility poles, and physical sneakernet participants.
I'm not going to make it, because I hate being in front of screens and am going offline nearly full time soon, but I really hope someone else runs with the idea.
I'll recognize it when I see it, and might come back out to play.

Woohoo! I guess it's not shadowbanned this time. Call me flabbergasted.
If you're inspired, run with it if you can code, post it everywhere, claim it as your own, whatever. I give no fucks who makes it, or makes billions off of it, because humanity needs it, asap.
I put bitcoin out there just like this, as a gift to the world. I just chatted about the core ideas with people that I knew could pull it off, it manifested, and so much has grown out of it. I promise this network structure has the same potential!
I have a new whitepaper done for a crypto$ that unfucks what they fucked up in bitcoin, but am waiting for the right moment to get it out there. I probably won't release it until we have a truly decentralized and free comm platform. I really don't believe in currency anymore, but see the need for a transitional step away from credit/debit/speculation.
