Isn't web 3.0 the whole crypto ntf bullshit. Maybe we skip that one and go straight to 4.0

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Web 4.0: I can actually safely tip every dude who made a useful video/website 0.01 cents and neither side will have to pay any extra fees so it is actually worth to tip, it will just be p2p money using the processing power of the sender and the receiver without buttcoin vultures trying to fuck with it. That was what web 3.0 was supposed to have been 13 years ago, but between the technical limitations and those web3 shitasses' greed, we're left almost where we started...

We're nowhere closer to frictionless, costless money transfer than we were 13 years ago, are we?

Back to 1.0, Javascript is pollution

I think in general it's supposed to be about decentralisation, but god knows scammers will hop straight onto anything with "point-oh" in the name

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Exactly. Blockchain is decentralized, so a lot of people have jumped to that, but it really doesn't have to be. I'm interested in distributed projects, which goes a step further than federation, and I think that is the gold standard for an open internet.
