You’re still limited to what people/relays/organizations you trust are willing to let you know about.

The internet was supposed to connect *everyone*.

I can see a future where after reinventing RSS people will realize they want to be able to find more than their tiny little social circles, so they will reinvent web directories, then web crawlers, PageRank, etc

Eventually we’ll have the whole web again! With exactly the same problems!

That’s how the world works. If you want to be connected to everyone, you drown in spam.

There is no way around building and curating your own network.

Such is life. No shortcuts. Only better and better tools to find the right people.

Exactly, no actual shortcuts in anything from my experience, just tools to make the process more fluent. Still, I see the shortcut idea constantly redressed and pushed aggressively, it feels absurd to me.

You say there’s no way around it with such conviction. Yet a way has been known for decades.

If being connected to everyone necessarily meant being drowned in spam — then Bitcoin would be impossible.
