  • What even is Web 3.0? I hear it thrown about a lot and something about blockchain which is good for storing cryptocurrencies and nfts and not much else. Maybe a blockchain could be used to decentralise DNS? Or maybe not. Don’t even know if we’d explicitly need that (although having a more tangible ownership of domain names would be cool)

    How do you store and update an HTML page on a Blockchain? And if you could, why? Would it even be efficient causing everyone to update a ledger when you fix a typo?

    It sounds like the type of thing made up by LinkedIn lunatics who have no idea what they’re talking about

    Googled it:

    Isn’t that just the indieweb and fedi movement? Just get a raspberry pi, plug it into your router and spin up a wordpress instance. Or another fediverse solution to your liking.



















  • My unpopular opinion is that we should federate with threads. “Embrace extend extinguish” would depend on existing fediverse users migrating to threads. Quite frankly, I don’t see that happening. In fact, if there’s no federation, there’s more incentive to use threads to have a presence.

    Embrace extend extinguish, if done on the fediverse, may cause an uptick in signups on other instances, and when extinguished, a portion of those users would leave.

    With the Google Chat / XMPP thing, people were using Google Chat, had xmpp support, it was cool, then google pulled the rug so users seemingly dropped.

    I don’t think Meta has enough goodwill at all to even convince it’s own users to return to it’s platforms these days. I think Bluesky is more of a risk as it claims to be decentralised to rope people in, but isn’t.
