when downloading torrents you have a bunch of seeders and maybe most won’t be online, but some will be. I’m so so tired with services and monopolies. Do you think it would be possible to create an internet where instead of large servers we just have individuals hosting their email service, the communities they like to post in and sharing files. essentially it’s just torrent with email and message board

You should check out IPFS which is pretty similar to what you’re describing, at least for file storage (which can be used to host web content).

Unfortunately a lot of the IPFS community seems to have been inundated with crypto nonsense. Which is a shame, since I think the basic idea is a good one.
