So the past of the internet?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 64 points 3 days 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

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 3 days 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.
