Tech advances have made it possible for us to own and use our own cyprtographic keys and authenticate ourselves without relying on any authority. By vouching for each other's identities directly and securely, we can know who we are on any service.
If you believe having decentralized, heterogenous network like this, who would you want to build and own it? Google? Elon? The Gov't? Or us.
You reading this now are either one of us or one of them.
No account with any service. You own your cryptographic key...
No center, no hierarchy, ..

Same human identities and reputations across Craigslist, Yelp/Maps, Airbnb/VRBO, NYT/WSJ, the 4 twitters, ...
Simple and complete
A demo / proof of concept / reference implementation...
