Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3. (self.lemmyworld)

I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars "web3"

someone tried making a Reddit clone called Plebbit and it was built on the Ethereum network, avatars had NFTs, the UI was similar to new Reddit, was clunky, extremely unresponsive and its mascot was the NPC wojak meme so it's just a 4channer trying to swindle money. To actually make an account you had to pay for an address LMAO
