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?
Blockchain and crypto are both decentralized, which is exactly what Web3 is defined as. Just because they came before federated websites doesn’t mean the definition is exclusive to them. I would call “Web3” ruined, rather I would say that ActivityPub is the first great implementation of it.
PS: The distinction between Web 3 and Web 3.0 is giving me some real USB 3.2 Gen 1 vibes.
“Web x” is dumb marketing speak. It exists because people who use the phrase can’t intelligently talk about the actual underlying technology.
How about Fweb or Feb?
Web 3.0 was the semantic web.
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.
Time for Web4
Just do what USB does and call it “Web 3 v2”
Web 3 v2 final (1)
it’s insulting to consider cryptocurrency or blockchain as any kind of next generation thing

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.
I call it web3.0++ its web3.0 after the concussion wore off.

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.
Holy cow
Now that’s a definition I can get behind.
The problem is, you cant pay with that lol

Why pay?
Electricity costs money unfortunately
Raw cash?
The rawest
That’s what I’m talking about)
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.

Nice meme but pls
I also think IPFS (non filecoin version) could prove useful in the future as well.
What’s IPFS in layman’s terms? The Wikipedia is hard for me to follow lol
