> the biggest failure of the internet was sharing it with the unwashed masses, we should have saved it for the (even less washed, if you look to the founders) elites.
...While I agree with the sentiment, I don't agree with the end logic: The sentence implies a top-down administration determining who gets access to the internet, which is something that I will always hate with a passion.
Personally, I'm more in favor with a self-segregation model, where I can have a private intranet with myself & anyone else I choose to share with. I already do so with Tailscale's private domains.
I agree, having a little private intranet is great, it's where I'm at. But losing the interactions that lead to finding those people to share an intranet with that happened more often on early internet makes finding people so time consuming, or not possible.
Where have you met the people you share your intranet with?
