Some day very soon everyone is going to get some uncomfortable lived experience showing just how dangerous and damaging putting all of our communications eggs in a handful of easily controlled corporate baskets is. It's now calvinball out there and distributed, not centralized, solutions are going to be required to route around the damage. The people who lived through it last time made the internet. And now that they're mostly retired or dead we're removing all the robustness they built in just to better align with employers' profit-motive use cases.

But we don't have to do that. Not on our own time. Don't use QUIC unless you're getting paid to do it.

I agree that we do need more decentralization, but for the decentralized infrastructure to scale, we need better building blocks. Internet is a much, much bigger place now. TOFU doesn't scale.
