It is time to build a new internet

The author argues that the modern internet has been corrupted by commercialism, AI-generated content, and spam, making it necessary to build a decentralized alternative that prioritizes genuine discourse and knowledge-sharing. They propose creating a new, invite-based network that could grow organically while remaining protected from corporate exploitation and profit-driven manipulation. The author acknowledges the challenge of maintaining such a system's integrity but believes starting fresh with committed users is preferable to attempting to fix the current degraded platforms.
