It doesn't look like it offers any privacy but it's a huge project. I'll see how it goes. I'm already not very optimistic about it though

Yeah, it's like reinventing the wheel, one that's been going strong.

Well the internet is now extremely bloated, outdated and monopolized. Sometimes you need a new thing, especially when nobody is ever going to fix the old one. Alternatives are always good to have as well. I'm not saying that the internet should be replaced though, just analyzing

What you describe as 'internet' is probably just a fraction of its entirety. I think right now we're in a part that's not as bloated, outdated, and monopolized. There's no need to start everything from scratch, neither that it's realistic, considering what it took to even get started.

Let's say we're starting from scratch, but without laying down submarine fiber optics. Why not use less popular protocols? There's gopher and gemini that already got a fair amount of users.
