Idea: "The unbillionaires list", to promote contributors to the common.

A collaborative website that lists people who created something useful to millions but purposedly choose to put in in the common and didn’t earn money directly from it (or not as much as expected)

Besides those listed in ploum.net/2026-01-22-why-no-eu

I would add Henri Dunant (Red Cross, he died in great poverty), Didier Pittet (who invented the hydroalcoolic gel we now use everyday).

It's important that we have our own infrastructure, now more than ever. Self-host your blog that you update 3 times per year (at best), shitpost on community mastodon instances, take back control from the megacorps that run the internet. Become digitally ungovernable!

or just be a cat on the internet with this new gTLD, either works.
