I agree! Do you know why anonymous pubkey identities with reputation graphs didn't stick, or any examples of it being used today? In my head that would solve one or two of the problems I see with the modern internet.

It's fine to be small, but we can still work on lowering the bar further and promoting the good parts.

Then, if there is a viable alternative to big social media, my thesis is that there might come a day when a critical mass has been fed up and finds a viable alternative that's still beautiful but no longer small.

I too liked to prime my own algorithm but Yanis Varoufakis book Technofeudalism kind of ruined it for me. On a individual level it's nice to get good recommendations, but on a societal level I think it's starting to get a bit scary to the point of me wanting to opt out and instead curate my own feeds based on first hand sources.

But here reliability comes in again. Calculators are different since the output is correct as long as the input is correct.

LLMs do not guarantee any quality in the output even when processing text, and should in my opinion be verified before used in any serious applications.
