 When you think about how the Internet is just networks allowing trusted computers into their network, it's petty shocking to see how far we have scaled this. It's the ultimate pyramid scheme.

 Bring back cjdns for mesh networking without ISP.

I remember some years ago in Spain there was a huge community mesh with simple wifi and ethernet, because ISP sucked hard in most area at the time.

Too bad it didn't last.

 It is still our backbone.  A number of older protocols are fully decentralized and secure in conjunction with Cjdns.

 Nostr web services (NWS) could also be useful as an overlay network. I've heard lots of good things about the mesh ISPs in Barcelona.

 Decentralized Internet is needed more than Nostr

 That is not "the internet".  The internet is peer connections.  Centralized ISPs were part of the globalist campaign starting around 1996.   Resisting centralized internet is similar to resisting centralized farming.  If you really can't string a wire or point Wifi router to a nearby neighbor (or said neighbor has no clue), then "know your farmer" is the next best thing.  Or use overlay mesh vpn networks like Cjdns with a centralized ISP to make virtual peer connections while learning to make physical peer connections.
