Is Lemmy not also 3.0? It’s decentralized. Tho maybe because it’s still servers/hosting at the end of the day maybe not?

I’m pretty sure the term Web 3.0 was created by cryptobros to promote their stuff

I don’t think Lemmy counts because you are still using the head server instead of being self-hosted

Eh ok, Web3 seems to be pretty hazy and loosely defined so I’m inclined to believe you’re right about it being just a buzzword basically.

Show me where is my self hosting setup with the dedicated IP and a server rack running then lol

You’re just using someone else’s server, just like you did in Web 1.0, it’s not self-hosted at all

Web 3.0 is literally only a thing I’ve seen crypto people talk about. Decentralized infrastructure has been around for ages without that language, and the only projects I see using Web 3 language is crypto currency nonsense.

If anything, Web 3.0 seems allergic to actually decentralized infrastructure beyond telling people who lose money on crypto exchanges to run their own hardware wallet; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web3#Not_decentralised

Imo “web 3.0” is a cool idea in theory, but never quite reached its potential. I posted this elsewhere, but imo the term should be generalized to include non-blockchain decentralization.

I strongly disagree. If it’s a term pushed by scam artists, trying to coopt the term for non-scam projects just makes it easier for scammers to seem legitimate. Also decentralized infrastructure has been around for ages and at it’s heart is running on the same software web 2.0 is based on, why is it “3.0” all of a sudden?

Proposal: Since Web 3.0 was once standing for decentralization and has been coopted by crypto, we should name our decentralized-only thing Web NT 3.0. You know, like New Technology. Like that spinoff Windows with a new kernel which eventually replaced the aging DOS kernel.
