Wondering what the world would look like if we implemented "Universal Basic Website".
Entitle everyone to their own domain, a few GB of space, the ability to run simple apps / blogs / etc.
What does the world look like if people aren't beholden to Flickr / Facebook / Google Photos to share their family albums?
@Edent ...great idea which has been discussed before, you can imagine that a government provides every citizen with a digital presence, just like they provide them with a digital identity. It never happend until now however.
@ErikJonker @Edent Here’s an article about our pilot project in Ghent seven years ago (!!!) now. Unfortunately, a conservative local government took power and cancelled our funding.

@ErikJonker @Edent My goal with the Small Web (Kitten, Domain, and Place) is to launch as a paid service so we can pay the mortgage and then, hopefully as people use it and maybe even as other orgs host Domain instances, to go to the EU, etc., and say “it works – now support this with our taxes.”
We’ll see how it goes. The fact that we have had €zero EU funding to date doesn’t exactly fill me with hope.
