I do want to say, however, that crafts people at the very least should be able to offer their wares for sale.
The worst aspects of the Internet come from the centralized commercial platforms. We could have a world of cities, providing Internet access, web, hosting services and online storage and processing.
They could be organizing in the same way the fediverse is. Every resident and local business gets access.

@evan Yes, but democracy, if it has markets, also requires markets to be competitive, lest powerful actors get so powerful that democracy itself is functionally lost.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell Interesting. Would you call a situation where every city provides services to citizens a "competitive market"?

@evan I'm no. Human societies have worked fine without competitive markets before and I don't see why a society with an open web would require it.

@malte so, you prefer what we have now? Monopolies with rent-seeking enshittification?

@evan no, not at all. But, people need money to live, do things, make things happen. Not much but some. This is the dilemma of the hippies, punks, ravers, any alt culture. Alt tech is the same.

@DrPen i think it's interesting how much people are focusing on the "markets" part of this question, rather than the "competitive" part.

@evan well, its not a trick question. Where's there's money, there's competition.

@DrPen that's not true at all! Many of the Web's most important services are run as oligopolies or monopolies.
