As a completely atomized America slips into night. Some realize they truely do have nothing more to life for than the internet. militias arise whose only goal is protect and preserve the physical facilities & infrastructure that makes Online possible.
Without the internet, not only did they feel like they didnt exist, they felt like their friends didnt exist. They built a life there. They had a stake. A rumor spreads that busses full of primitivists were heading toward Menlo Park. The boomers occupy the campus in preparation.
These web warriors all share a interest in the continued operation of the internet. And a deep distrust of the surviving ISPs (always trying to "shake up the market" now that the federal gov was gone, sometimes having to be persuaded not to by threat of violence).
Despite shared feelings about preservation of internet architecture, their individual views can vary quite wildly. they tend to organize themselves with affiliation to certain "sites" over others. Some sites have a long history of animosity, but a shared goal reduces conflict
Some "sites" have their own physical space that needs protecting. Usually left to the dedicated forces but there is a (unenforceable) mutual aid agreement between sites that come under attack. Only a imminent attack on telecommunications abilities has the power to rally them all.
