Yes, there have been and continue to be, but it's a very challenging area to gain traction because 99% (just a guess) of the internet operates in the way we're familiar with, and there's a lot of resistance to fundamental change.
Thanks. It seems like an ordinary web site like github is critical, yet incredibly fragile. Are there more secure alternatives to web site hosting over TCP/ip?

Would these be based on TCP/IP? Would it not be conceivable to, let's say, set up a decentralized version of SN that is basically connected to separate computers serving as nodes in a decentralized way, and completely separate from ICANN and not censorable by an ISP? What would this look like?

I just checked the site. Looks interesting. Do you have experience with it? How secure is it?
