Trying to claim the term “Web3” is a futile battle. It is already widely understood to mean crypto and blockchain. If I see a job posting that says the company is built on Web3, I know immediately that the job is built on scams and grifts without having to ask further questions. Web3 as a term is ruined already.
For this to work it must be a different term than Web3. Maybe “Web 3.0” is different enough?
also Web 3.0 was already a thing (semantic web), cryptobros just stole the term.
Which is pretty much what activitypub is a part of.
"Web x" is dumb marketing speak. It exists because people who use the phrase can't intelligently talk about the actual underlying technology.

Or perhaps Web 3.1. But seriously, I would call it the Federated Web.

Blockchain and crypto are both decentralized, which is exactly what Web3 is defined as. Just because they came before federated websites doesn't mean the definition is exclusive to them. I would call "Web3" ruined, rather I would say that ActivityPub is the first great implementation of it.
PS: The distinction between Web 3 and Web 3.0 is giving me some real USB 3.2 Gen 1 vibes.
Web3 usually means it's decentralized. So yes, in most cases it's cryptocurrencies

but how do I give someone .0045 cents for no apparent reason??
Don't forget the 40 dollar transaction fee
The only people that think this is correct are ones that learned about crypto 5 years ago and never thought to update their information. The lightning network allows for tiny bitcoin transactions with sub one cent transaction fees. In addition to that, the transactions happen in less than a second.
As long as you have a channel with that person preconfigured and funded right? Otherwise you need to do an on chain transaction with on chain fees to set up that sub one cent transaction.

I also think IPFS (non filecoin version) could prove useful in the future as well.
A post mentioning IPFS that hasn't been downvoted into the mantle? I'm impressed.
It seems that most people don't have any idea that it's not reliant upon blockchain.
Somebody asked the other day about hosting websites on cell phones. I mentioned that IPFS would be just about perfect for that and everyone got out their pitchforks.
What's IPFS in layman's terms? The Wikipedia is hard for me to follow lol
I don't know the details (checked it out once, before crypto integration), but it's like bittorrent. You seed your own files, people who download and keep the files also seed. I think I once tried out a prototype decentralized (crypto) ebay-like app, and all images were "hosted" on IPFS. (So, once the app downloaded the product image, it seeded it to other clients).
I believe all files are hashed, and something like DHT is used to lookup files by hash id.

Noooooooooo, you can't like things that can evade stupid and needless monetization!
it's insulting to consider cryptocurrency or blockchain as any kind of next generation thing

I hate the term Web3, the name itself feels like gaslighting. It tries to imply like it's the next step for the web. It's just grifting and is absolutely impractical lol.
Notice how Web3 blew up because of insane VC money, then suddenly dies what feels like overnight. They didn't care about decentralization, otherwise they'd actually invest in non Blockchain bullshit. But then they can't scam with crypto coins.

Look at me is federated and decentralized
I am the web3 now
I call it web3.0++ its web3.0 after the concussion wore off.
Don't forget about nfts there the future man they can't be replicated man where can you spend 100k and by the end of the week your investment is worh $3.50
Where you spend 100k for a JPEG
The JPEG isn’t even on the blockchain for the majority of NFTs. It’s just a URL to a JPEG on a server someone else owns. If they take down the server, sell it, it gets hacked, the url scheme changes, etc someone is now the proud owner of a broken link lol

I would see that crypto and blockchain scam as more like the last breath of Web2, given the monetization thing
No. Web2 is about user generated content (as opposed to the static pages of Web1) - crapto stuff hardly fits the bill. Like it or not, it really does belong to Web3 - which is about decentralization.
Now that's a definition I can get behind.
