I think there are people with more interesting ideas than what Tim Berners-Lee has to say, given what I just read. His post is on Medium so I had to read in eww, the browser built into Emacs. 😂 The most interesting fragment was "collectivise their solutions, and to overturn the online world being dictated by profit to one that is dictated by the needs of humanity". It's pretty much out of context because it follows something like "there is a need, an urgent need, for others to do the same, to back the morally courageous leadership that is rising" and that's a bit weird. I started thinking. Where is that morally courageous leadership that is rising? Are they morally courageous but not in other ways? Is their morality courageous because their morals aren't recognized as morals or their morals might seem amoral to others? Or is amorality considered moral in the mainstream? Or isn't it rather that the mainstream knows full well what is moral but can't help the systemic pressures of having to earn money? Why isn't he advocating for system change? Is that what collectivisation is about? What exactly are we collectivising? The solutions? The products? The capital? Or is he just saying that the morally ambiguous but courageous leaders have ideas that we, collectively, ought to support? And the "fundamental change" he has in mind are "Contract for the Web" and "Solid Protocol"? I… I don't know… We must "champion the efforts of those visionary individuals who are actively working to build a new, improved system"? It just feels so weird. How about this alternative:

1. We need a web that is built for the people, by the people. 
2. We need free ourselves from the shackles and fetters of corporations. 
3. Remove corporations and their representatives from all governing bodies and committees. 
4. All positions to be paid positions. 
5. One human, one vote. No strings attached.

It took me two minutes to write something that seemed a bit more visionary than what Tim Berners-Lee had in mind and if you like it, please don't champion me but talk to some friends and do a little thing, no matter how small, to support a few more people on the web. Run a forum, a wiki, provide email services, run a fediverse instance, run a HTML course at the library, collect money for a mutual aid fund, something, anything. The only conditions are that 1. it's concrete and 2. it benefits more people than are involved in doing it.
It's OK to cap it. But it's important to start it. Just make it a point to enable somebody else. And just like that, we're taking back the web.
