>>15242900oh it'd absolutely have illegal stuff, but you could still have community consultations and try and work out what is considered acceptable. if there's a guy selling a bit of weed and the community broadly don't mind then i don't think that's a massive issue ethically, but i like to think human beings are decent enough that we'd collectively agree to none of the obviously illegal online things, fbi tier shit. maybe have a flagging system where if enough tickets are raised, communities could vote not just on particularly contentious content even on the existence of entire sites, with a large enough consensus being enough to take these sites down. maybe physical communities could vote to do so and manually block these sites on all their local nodes; you could do that by simply connecting up a small terminal and typing in a command, i'd imagine.
it's not fullproof, or fully planned out, and i'm not a software dev nor a networking engineer, just a hobbyist tinkerer. you could still have accounts on a mesh network site, if you wanted, but something where you could either be anonymous or use an account would be a good standard for sites. i think there are a few online games and things that work like that already, where you can choose to be some anonymous, disposable "account" or actually create an account and profile.
it'd be interesting, if you had the ability to create new boards and archival ability of reddit, the general structure of 4chan and a profile system more akin to social media so that those with profiles can still communicate and keep up with each other. old forums often had stuff like status updates, so its not inconceivable. i just hope the internet moves in a more decentralised direction again because its a pretty depressing state of affairs to spend most of your time on less than, what, 10, 15 sites? and all these sites are run by massive multinational corporations that sell your data, fuck over their users regularly, monetise everything, etc
