   Can anyone explain in plain English what web3 actually is? I apparently missed the memo.

     @fribbledom It's today's web, but with cryptocurrency technologies shoehorned in wherever possible

     @fribbledom Every negative thing that every other post is saying.

     In the positive, as a potential outcome, more peer to peer communication and publishing. It's possible some good and some less good will come out of web3 - kind of like anything else, ever, always.

     "Blockchain is always bad" advocates might be in the right. I suggest they look at Secure Scuttlebutt, particularly Manyverse, and then reconsider. They may still be in the right.

     @phoe @fribbledom Hey, hey, don't lump Web 3.0 in with Web3; Web 3.0, or the Semantic Web, was never going to work, but at least it wasn't a cynical scam.

     @kurt Alternatively, Web 3.0 is here and ActivityPub runs on it. 😉
     
     I'm half serious.

     @kurt Because the search giants abandoned us after the Google Buzz debacle.

     @clacke @phoe @fribbledom If ActivityPub is Web 3.0 how come search on it is so terrible?

     @fribbledom Optimistically, "web3" is the version of the web where you own your own keys so big tech platforms can't control your account.

     Currently, it's the version where you pay real money for the chance to get scammed by a low -grade imitation of the big tech platform.

     @punkscience @fribbledom If you look at Twitter's Bluesky project you'll get where people are coming from:
     
     - What if Twitter ... but decentralized!
     - The Fediverse is only two years younger than Twitter.
     - Yeah, but what if ... you could have community moderation.
     - Fediverse did it.
     - It's not decentralized!
     - It's not centralized. I can run my own server.
     - But there's no blockchain!

     The cynicism on here is ... ick. Web3 as I understand it, is the rebuilding of web technologies on decentralized services using crypto technologies, blockchain, and distributed systems.
