We need a good name for this. Darkweb is drug dealers. Underground sounds narrower and more politically subversive than this is. This is mostly just a private web, a sort of domestic-backyards intranet. Cut-and-paste web? Cozyweb? Backyard web? Friendly neighborhood intranet?

The underground internet is really inefficient. It consists of people cutting/pasting urls from one private context to another: slack, FB groups, dms, messengers. Or private <—> public It’s like how surface croads are point-to-point by car, but subway use needs on-foot transfers

I thought the old (ex. late 90s/early 2000s) term for stuff outside the coverage of search engines was “deep web,” but of course now that’s too easily confused with the darknet by a casual audience.

Mushroom web: it’s not visible from above ground, it connects up trees into an organism of organisms that acts as a trust chain (pathway) over which SOS signals can travel, information gets distributed through and asked for, and resources get shared along.
