There will be such a thing that arises as a "grey net" I think. Not the dark web, but also not mainstream internet.
So basically the fediverse?
I mean at some point even websites seem grey net when the mainstream internet is basically AOL Future.
I think if there's going to be an Eternal August version of the internet, it will be hidden in plain sight created by some of the same people that want to use it.
I think the term you are looking for is "Deep Net", although it originally meant websites that weren't indexed by web searches.
What I'm hearing is: I can replace saying "I have a dumb little WordPress blog that no one reads" with "I host a part of the 'Deep Net'.
Sweet.
