I stumbled upon the Post-Web Zine. Its authors clearly want out of the status quo web. Notably, they also see "web3" and related efforts as insufficiently concerned with interoperability.
I think folks interested in permacomputing and the smol web might find something interesting here.

See I'm one of the old nerds and it always strikes me as a little wild that I read this and what I'm getting is very much like how it started with packet radio. Ham radio stations linking up computers to from local networks that got some telnet connections eventually. It got so popular that traffic was impeeded. Meshnet came along and we took ham space on 802.11 and there has been continuations of work in mesh but it's never caught on to be what it could inside amateur radio. Gemspace would work well in 21c radio mesh world.
I love that 1977 computer-zine look!
But a little scared of that URL.
Actually, very put off by the URL.
Why is this minimal retro-publication not served as a file?
Why is there a script accepting my simple request? Is it to spy on me, or inject some crap?
Why use a document-naming scheme capable of enumerating every proton in the universe?
Also, radicle.garden makes me very uneasy, lexically and politically!

The url is long because there's content addressing involved (or something similar). Think bittorrent magnet link.
Is it on IPFS? Kind of digital maximalism as I see it
