   @luis_in_brief framing WordPress and other infrastructures as "National Parks of the Web" is a good metaphor. Thanks for that

     I want to read short alt-histories where the net took a different, more human, less horrific path than uh, whatever this is from @josephcox.

     Not sure what the branching-off point is: maybe Mozilla figures out micropayments early, and that encourages a non-ad-based web? Or Finland does UBI and so Linus builds an open-web empire there? Early Wikimedia Foundation buys Automattic, Reddit, and other human-driven “national parks of the web”?
