There could be open source tooling to create custom private "closednets", with
- trust ring mechanism to allow invitations, flagging, banning, and banning those that invite people who were banned
- the rules of the closednet
- search engine with opt-in scraping
- portal (remember the 80s?) with all the registered nodes, perhaps by service category such as public git repo hosts, web sites etc.
etc.
The first closednet could be Hacker News.
