Is it possible to save the Internet from the current state of poz or is it becoming like the BBS community where old timers are now such a minority that it's hopeless?
Do you think we will see another global network or is the Internet now so all consuming that it will just continue to evolve within it's cage?
How do you deal with the utter disgust at the state of our technology and how it's being used compared to where we could be by now if it hadn't become so revoltingly pozzed?
IPFS
IPFS really is perfect in concept and shitty in execution. Good content lives forever, bad content never gets mirrored so the sender pays.
Why would you need this? What's the point of setting up another global network disconnected from the internet to do things you could do on the internet?
What's the point of Holla Forums when 4/g/ and /r/programming exist?
If you want to go full sekrit klub you could create your own protocol. There's no need to duplicate the old infrastructure.
You do understand the difference between the internet and the world wide web, right?

Urbit?? It was started by Mencius Moldbug and is buzzword complete
Does it support socket activation?
The double question mark makes me wonder whether your post is ironic, but Urbit is a waste of time.
First of all, Nock is a massive Turing tarpit (decrement is O(N) for fuck's sake), so any implementation on hardware is intractable. Yarvin "solves" this by introducing jets, but if you have to call out to C code to make the system usable, the whole "clean slate" talk is a just big case of LARP. It's even worse than Haskell in this regard: At least the haskellfags have a chance (however slight) of a breakthrough with their graph reduction machines.
Also, it's full of self-aggrandizing obscurantist bullshit. You need a damn good reason for completely deviating from established terminology and the feudal titles/navy/astronomy naming scheme is honestly cringe-worthy. Something that tries to be hard to understand is rarely worth the time of day (which isn't to say that things should be dumbed down; they just shouldn't be made artificially hard).
Literally, no.
Please do inform us.
Not even kidding.
Half the video is completely irrelevant to your question by the way. He finishes talking about the diffrences at about 5:00
and the other half is thinly veiled Ball Earth propaganda. What does NASA & some fictional deathstar moon have to do with the world wide web?

It's for when you feel like shitposting but cbf moving the tab to 4chan or reddit.
Realistically there is nothing you can do. The advertising economy and social media are the biggest problems but how are you going to get rid of those?
They will get rid of themselves, like all bubbles do. The question is how much they will take with them.
The internet is the infrastructure. You send packets over it to other computers to communicate.
The world wide web is HTTP and HTML and such. It's a set of protocols and languages that websites and web browsers use.
Holla Forums is part of the world wide web. E-mail and IRC aren't, although some people access them through the world wide web, with web clients.
There are imageboards that use the internet, but not the world wide web, like sshchan.
If you have a trillion dollars to spare you could set up an alternative to the internet, but it makes more sense to use the existing infrastructure. If you don't want to use the world wide web because social marxists will link to you or something it only takes basic networking knowledge to create an alternative to the world wide web, although making it good takes more effort.
Build community where there's nothing at all to monetize, and no way to gain central control or otherwise subvert it.
Look at old dialup BBS scene: every board is independent and running whatever sysop wants. No commercial ads, no bullshit.
Well they also had company-owned BBS for main distro sites of Sofdisk Publishing and others like that. But 99% of them were run by and for hobbyists.

Are all the flags on Holla Forums broken or just that one?
I've seen broken flags on /bane/ too.
It's Chodemonkey's Alacshitty screwing up. Try to visit this page from mod.php and posting and see if that fixes the assets.
It's a problem with the images, not the pages they are shown on. The flag URLs are the same for all threads.
As someone who was there at the time: 75% were run by hobbyists. 5% were commercial... 20% were flat-out operated for the sake of crime outright (card/wire fraud, chipping, phreaking-with-everyday-people-paying-the-bill-because-you-know-fuck-them-hahahaha, etc ...and unlimited numbers of retarded teens wanting to be Cyb3r.)
75% of all BBS had massive porn collections, too-- the remaining 25% were either Can't-do-that-on-a-Christian-BBS or operated by teenagers with busybody parents, or couldn't afford the disk space it needed.
There wasn't much room for massive porn collection, at least not in the early-mid 90's when I was calling BBS. My first PC build was a 486DX33 with ~ 400 MB disk, because that was the best dollar/megabyte ratio at the time. My computer before that was an Amiga 500 that eventually upgraded with 40 MB SCSI disk. Pretty much anything in between those two was average storage those days for a computer.
And the average sysop I met at local BBS party or 2600 meeting was even more broke than me. If anything, they reserved space for warez, in preference to porn. It wasn't unusual to find some, just nothing like the mythical Rusty 'n Eddies BBS.
It wasn't until I got Unix dialup shell account (and thus Usenet access) that I found massive amounts of porn, and all free (no ratio).
What about ASCII porn?
