As someone who's crypto-neutral, I don't want to be too negative...
But this article talks about Bluesky and Mastodon. Bluesky is not decentralized and neither application uses any web3 technology.
Is there any actual web3 social media? It doesn't seem like the best use of web3 (versus stuff like financial automation, etc.)
I like how you carefully avoided to say bitcoin, blockchain, or scam in your post.
@one_old_coder You're right! But now I'm catching up... Jokes aside, Bitcoin, Nostr, blockchain, and so on, are magnificent technologies, but most of the people who talk about them are truly embarrassing and sometimes disgusting. A real shame.
Web0 is the way to go, not Web3.
Web0
HTML5 without JS? I would love that.
I'm referring to the Web0 manifesto coined by Aral Balkan.
web0 is the decentralised web. In other words, web0 is web3 without all the corporate right-libertarian Silicon Valley bullshit.
Probably just a dial-up connection that you access entirely from the command line.
Still better than Crypto BS
built on openness, transparency, and user control instead of central control.
Also, cryptocurrency. Actually, it's all cryptocurrency, please invest in the pretend money we're wizarding out of the void.
I still ponder if i should keep this post in my community because i'm not fond of bitcoin...
And i know other currency (G1 la june, free currency) that work as a "basic income" and don't depend on farming computers with GPU.
