So the past of the internet?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The original web 3 was supposed to be a return to form of web 1, with the good stuff of web 2 and decentralized. Then cryptobros hijacked it

There's more than just lemmy

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it would be interesting to have some kind of study about which one is more popular these days, the fedivetse or the cryptobro web 3

[–] PugEnjoyer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think I've really seen any literature about web3 that wasn't a crypto scam in a trench coat. Do you have any links or info about the original goals of web3?

This is a story about my web3 thoughts, circa 2018... https://mangocats.com/ao/IslandLife.html

Riiight... nothing to do with advertising. It was cryptobros, it's always cryptobros.
