Do you not think these things already exist? Seems like what you're asking for is solved. But o could be missing something

The tech exists, but the average schmuck has no idea how to use it, so it might as well not exist.

Plenty of average schmucks managed in the early days, though.
Granted, it was through services like Geocities and Tripod, no one was building their own server by intstalling and configuring Linux through a VM or anything, but "having your own website" has never been that complicated.

if you figure a way to remove spam, all the old protocols can be popular again.

Huh? There is no spam with RSS or IM. The user chooses what to consume.
And spam is a solved problem with email.

if you inevitably tried to build an RSS directory or search engine, there would be spam. IM is already full of spam, like IRC and email
> And spam is a solved problem with email.
you mean, with centralized online mail services
I want to the internet itself to be a social network using open, standardized protocols that have been proven to work.
