countering almost all stuff online is corpo (except piracy)

internet archive? the millions of servers making up the fediverse? foss maintainers and organizations, wikipedia, etc. if you have a computer, you can make a webpage. yes, that old mac you played oregan trail on instead of doing your research could host a server. the internet is always 1 foss maintainer from collapsing and most servers are old laptops hosting a personal site nobody has visited before, and along with that, decentralized media and archives for said media. most web domains are not known because theres quite a few random kids (like me) who learn javascript, html, css, et cetera and make a personal site and host it hoping someone will visit, hoping someone will care, and most of them have 0 visits from anyone other than the creator. example.org is a real domain by the way.

your computer sometimes acts as a router, if someone near you is looking for a site, and their device and/or router can't find it, they'll look to nearby devices to see if they know where it is, so sometimes your device does that. if you have folding@home installed on any of your devices, your device will temporarily become a server as long as you have it running.

many small buisnesses and some schools have their own sites. those (usually) aren't owned by megacorp

sorry for the rant and have a great day (also sorry for bad grammar/spelling too tired to fix a the moment)
