Looks like the minimum of this graph is around 1973, not 1971. Guess what was also in 1973? Roe v Wade.

Very much interested.

Ok

IMO the best part of social media is having people you actually know online. Sure, algorithmic recommendations keep your attention, but leave you feeling empty. It’s the interactions with people you know that are fulfilling. Private, invite-only relays, combined with an easy to use app limited to those relays (for the normies, but self-custodial once they want to venture out of the walled garden) could be a way to achieve this and slow the rise of AI generated content. Invites are moderated using a tree/pyramid invite system, eg if someone invites several spammy accounts they themselves will be banned.

Cloudflare or Namecheap

Yes, currently DNS is very centralized (plus names are effectively rented). But we must have some sort of human readable solution for naming (as opposed to memorizing an entire npub, for example), or else it will look like we are taking a step backwards.

Pretty sure the newest version of Yggdrasil (0.5.x) removed the DHT and is using CRDTs and bloom filters to route traffic.
