Bots are, essentially, a virus. We are at the point now where they are killing the host. That is if they haven’t already moved us to the point of no return.
A new internet isn’t going to happen. We are stuck with the anonymous rage inducing or monetization system that took over because the systems of power let it.

I2P. Not perfect, but a good place to start.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I2P doesn’t seem to fill the void. I think what is missing from that is the “norm” of the old internet. The internet was a playground with tons of hobby projects and experiments in its earlier days. I don’t see TOR, I2P, etc, building the same playground because the novelty and ease of access can’t be replicated.

Another community that has sprung up recently is Reticulum. Some of the relay chats rooms, websites and forums on there feel like the early internet and the emphasis on direct communication over radios could prevent bots. But it’s definitely not ready as an internet replacement. Maybe in a few years…
