I call it the original (OG) web or decentralized web. I watched big tech run constant ads for people to give up their independent web sites that ran on their own desktop computers and "for just a small percentage or even just collecting marketing info we'll run your whole online life for you!" No changing UPS batteries (video of secretary crawling around under a desk to do that because of poor setup). We make backups for you! (And for the feds.) etc etc

The BIG weapon against the deep state was crypto. The OG web was decentralized and pretty much uncensorable, but entirely unencrypted and unauthenticated. IP forgery was a thing. Forging usenet articles was a common joke (especially on April 1).

Now we have the tools for authenticated IPs and e2e encrypted packet delivery, and a number of protocols for that.

Please note that ICANN DNS and cabal TLS are totally centralized and censored. One thing that could be incorporated into Nostr is a .NOSTR (or other) tld (ala .BIT) where nameservers are shared via Nostr. ICANN DNS would only be used for onboarding.

The globalist TLS cabal can forge and MITM any TLS web site. You can't rely on it. While a private TLS CA is appropriate for an enterprise like AT&T, what better fits Nostr is to use make connections using one of the authenticated overlay mesh networks like yggdrasil or cjdns or pinecone. The dendrite Matrix server incorporates pinecone. Fedora and Redhat offer Cjdns. Yggdrasil is a golang thing - easily compiled if you don't care about downloading random dependency versions from the internet during build (you should - but that makes building a lengthy research project for all the dependencies).

Someone started an yggdrasil-js project - which would fit right in with Nostr web clients (but isn't ready yet).
