Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3. (lemmy.world)

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"

Federation definitely feels like the next major stepping stone of the internet's evolution.

Ever heard of Email?...

Or XMPP for that matter.

Federation has been a core principle since the beginning.

You don't have to be condescending.

Exactly. Most people have only used the Internet in its current centralized form. Not everyone had the benefit of being around in the IRC/XMPP/Icecast/BBS/Usenet/etc. days. Federated services are a new concept to many people.

Dies and turns into a pile of greymuzzle dust.

We're getting old. Sorry

You have never used email?

[–] Kaladin_Stormblessed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Most people don’t think of email and social media as being two aspects of the same thing.

I've used everything I've listed. I'm one of the people who was around on the internet in the 90s and 2000s.
