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"

It's so exciting to have another paradigm shift afoot. I feel a little regretful (not sure that's the right word here) that I wasn't born early enough to grow up with the rise of internet forums. It's not all bad because I also would not grown up during this great time of queer development, but it would've been neat. So now I get to live through and experience a similar time with web3 type stuff. The whole concept makes my little CS heart smile.

It's definitely an “everything old is new” situation. It’s kind of fascinating how the technology has both become ubiquitous, and been monetized like perhaps nothing before it, but is still able to find a way to serve interests beyond capitalism. It’s a pitiful bar, but I still think it’s neat.
