What’s the point of putting stuff on the WEB if it can’t be accessed from a WEB BROWSER
It’s Web 2.0 dummy, Web 3.0 is crypto and NFTs
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?
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.
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.
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
So Web 1.0 was just the normal internet, created by users and companies.
Web 2.0 are the sites that try to consolidate and capture user-created content as their primary content. Link aggregation, art posts, etc.
Web 3.0 is the scam pushed by blockchain enthusiasts.
Will Web 4.0 be dubbed the AI web? Where anytime you use a search, browse a catalog or gallery or do almost anything else you interact through an AI?
You force me to use your app, you force me to use another website.
Wasn’t it web 2.0? Also, good point, I always thought it was weird. Though it’s kinda obvious it’s about money.
“Web 3.0” is a term used to refer to distributed blockchain-based web services, in case anyone’s curious.
Though with the uptick in Lemmy I wonder if that term will end up being generalized to things like ActivityPub. One can hope.
I swear to god if I hear web plus number one more fucking time.
