I like this quote from The Boring Internet (about how a lot of it's still around, just overshadowed by the glitzy, extractive, corporate net, and we can still build on top of that foundation)
The boring internet isn't protected by innocence. It's protected by awkwardness.
also:
Every property that made these protocols feel old and uncool to you in 2014 is part of what's keeping them alive in 2026.

@kelson@notes.kvibber.com all true. The biggest threat is #netneutrality .. The oligarchs can potentially use #ageverification politics to impose regulation at the transport layer. Then all these app layer protocols are suddenly inside a walled garden of sorts.
