I want something like webrings to become A Thing again. A user curated search engine. And the users doing the curated need to be vetted. I don't know if this is even possible, but I get tired of having to come to HN to get a human recommendation that is miles better than the algorithmic crap from the current search engines.

Fork and make your own!
Post your bookmarks, share to your friends, encourage your friends to do the same. Import those bookmarks into a search engine site fliter extension.
It comes back to the age-old question: Who vets the vetters?
You can make decent attempts, such as academic peer review. Even this system perpetuates its own problems (beta amyloid) and has perverse incentives (publish or perish, falsified results), though.
Semantic web had some good ideas about this. Networks of signed FOAF data attached to articles and posts. You could form a side graph of trust information that you could revoke at any time.
