I2P already exists and is usable.

But is it resistant to enshittification?

[pixelmelt]

It has about the same problems with finding content that the www has, its just in the earlier stages

[fsflover]

This has nothing to do with enshittification.

[fsflover]

Yes, because it does not depend on a single entity, for-profit or not.

[jijijijij]

Neither does the normal web. It became this way. The ability to run decentralized is not what is preventing enshittification.

I would argue eg. a LoRa based Reticulum network is enshittification resistant, because of physical bandwidth and range limitations. It enforces decentralization and abuse/advertisement/... inherently doesn't scale, is not worth the effort. It favors authentic, low reach human2human information sharing.

[fsflover]

The internet itself is not enshittified. Certain websites and services on it are. Ever heard of HN?

[jijijijij]

So, then why exactly do we need an alternative?

[fsflover]

We need an alternative to the enshittified services, not to the Internet.
