Trying to claim the term “Web3” is a futile battle. It is already widely understood to mean crypto and blockchain. If I see a job posting that says the company is built on Web3, I know immediately that the job is built on scams and grifts without having to ask further questions. Web3 as a term is ruined already.
For this to work it must be a different term than Web3. Maybe “Web 3.0” is different enough?
“Web x” is dumb marketing speak. It exists because people who use the phrase can’t intelligently talk about the actual underlying technology.
Or perhaps Web 3.1. But seriously, I would call it the Federated Web.
It’s not a bad idea but federated is the term they’re using to tell everybody not to get off reddit because it’s too confusing.
I think whatever name you give it they’re going to try to sell it as being too confusing.
You could call it distributed web but they’ll taint that as soon as you stick it in front of them
Web 3.1 for Workgroups?
Web3 usually means it’s decentralized. So yes, in most cases it’s cryptocurrencies
How about Fweb or Feb?
Hey, it has so many uses. I can’t name a good one that isn’t actively being made a scam, but so many uses. Wave of the future. Buy crypto, trust me.
Dumbass lemmy.world hot takes
it’s insulting to consider cryptocurrency or blockchain as any kind of next generation thing

… keep being insulted by reality, then?
To me it feels like how 3D tvs were. Cool tech but not enough people hopping on board to make it mainstream so it stagnates and fizzles out. I could be wrong of course
I call it web3.0++ its web3.0 after the concussion wore off.
Web 3.1, this time with realistic use cases!
I’m gonna wait for Web 3.11 For Workgroups.
Or web 3.0 minus. As in minus that libertarian bullshit.
Look at me is federated and decentralized
I am the web3 now

The web was always decentralized though. In fact Web 3 brought more centralization. Everything is in the cloud now, which is really just two or three main data center operators. That’s my techno luddite take.
I would see that crypto and blockchain scam as more like the last breath of Web2, given the monetization thing
No. Web2 is about user generated content (as opposed to the static pages of Web1) - crapto stuff hardly fits the bill. Like it or not, it really does belong to Web3 - which is about decentralization.
Federation was we 1.0 people forget all major chatting services used to be integrated. You could have a yahoo im show up on your aim chatbox.
Wait until you hear about XMPP (and it’s bridges).
Holy cow
I’ve been calling it web 1.5. It feels a lot like the web before web 2.0, but leverages improvements in technology and knowledge since then
give it some time and there will be crypto based instance. I think both technologies can coexist.
There already is monero.town which is an instance centered around Monero.
If Federation/Decentralization could be combined with decentralized crypto currency payments through something like Monero in a way that is not a scam, it would actually be great. We need some kind of monetization model for the Federated Web, and crypto currencies are actually great for that purpose but so far all implementations of this haven’t really worked or were just a scam.

Dumb take is dumb. Digital ownership is the “next” internet whether the bootlickers want it or not.
