On Mastodon, I’ve been exposed to some people that keep talking about a different kind of web, a truly federated infrastructure. That is, instead of relying on “servers” and thus allowing for middlemen providing for connectivity and hosting (and affording surveillance), they aim for a peer-to-peer web, mesh networking, and a simpler infrastructure (not relying on JavaScript to deliver full blown applications to browsers).
Andrew Roach linked me to A Plan to Rescue the Web.
PresGas linked me to a PDF about the Decentralized Web. It discusses a lot of technologies pushing towards the decentralized web (including Mastodon, the federated micro-blogging platform).
These links themselves lead to even more resources to learn more.
p2p social networking with Rotonde & Beaker also talks about these technologies.
