The corporate web may be dying/reinventing itself. Everyone talks about FOSS and having a user driven experience.
But one thing we don’t have is a true FOSS web, a protocol like HTTP that only allows FOSS websites to be hosted and bars any corporate interest from hosting for profit.
Would something like that be possible? A “dark web” but not for illicit schemes but for free and open hosted content?
You go to https://website for your comporate fix and to foss:// for none “open source” content. (Stuff like fediverse, self hosted websites etc.)
You’d have to have a governing body, something like the Free Software Foundation that ensures everyone hosting on the foss-web follows the open source guidelines and goes after violators.
I wouldn’t want the FSF with its own little politics having any kind of power over information distribution.
Just look at the problems they’re causing with their GNU/Linux moniker nobody except Debian is using. With power handed to them, they’d probably kick everyone off who leaves out the GNU/-part, even though it’s debatable whether it’s really appropriate these days.
