< best of the /de\cent||ral\ized/ web? ^¥^
something that made a big impression on me in 2018 or so, was a post on Write.as called Tunneling For Text by a guy who called himself Slackz. Blog is long gone, but I dug up the entry on Wayback Machine if you have an e-mail I can send it to in plaintext. I don't want to re-post it online, even if I'd be giving him credit (privacy matters)
Talking about rediscovering Jabber, IRC, Gopher, etc, and reclaiming personal time/space on the Web. Really motivating article, and I think that is what kicked off the interest I had (still have) in decentralized services, as well as older protocols, etc.
My e-mail is in my profile if you want to send first e-mail.
