Craigstarter: DIY Replacement for Kickstarter
As more and more “curation” happens with the big providers, it’s fun to see people rediscover the benefits of running their own sites that they control.<p>I’d love to see more distributed models around forming and maintaining communities start to pop up.  A distributed directory similar to DNS that no one entity totally controls pointing to independent content publishers.<p>It’s time for the Internet to get back more on the distributed side of things, especially since the modern equivalent of a nuclear attack is a large site just up and banning someone for a vague TOS violation with no human to appeal to unless you get lucky in shaming them enough on Twitter to respond.  Yeah, I want my livelihood dependent on that service model.
