I've thought the echo list is ripe for pruning. Trying to get
moderators of empty echoes to give up is a lost cause, so maybe
starting with a new backbone is the way to go?
No backbone is needed, we don't have toll charges (for the most part).
No one trusts anyone to power any more, so build a mesh design. No
moderators, since there's no such thing as a feed cut any more.
What other 20th century limitations can we ignore with this new
network-within-a-network?
Would it work?
