not to think out loud but i have been wondering what form another web could take, in response to the constant ddos

one way is a more fidonet approach, interlinked groups and manual peering. as a means of somewhwat opting out and moderating crawlers

but well, sometimes it feels like the right answer is to go all in on more content-addressable, bitorrent like approaches, essentially making scrapers earn content through contributing bandwidth

but yeah that means everythings way more scrapable
