That’s a little too much power for a small group of people to wield.Here’s the good news: A different kind of social media is starting to grow in the background. One built on openness, transparency, and user control instead of central control.bloggingwizard.com/decentraliz@fediverse

    As someone who's crypto-neutral, I don't want to be too negative...

    But this article talks about Bluesky and Mastodon. Bluesky is not decentralized and neither application uses any web3 technology.

    Is there any actual web3 social media? It doesn't seem like the best use of web3 (versus stuff like financial automation, etc.)

    I like how you carefully avoided to say bitcoin, blockchain, or scam in your post.

    built on openness, transparency, and user control instead of central control.

    Also, cryptocurrency. Actually, it's all cryptocurrency, please invest in the pretend money we're wizarding out of the void.

    I think we're basically in agreement. The energy expenditure is real, but it adds no real value to the product. In a very real way, it is make believe — even more so than real money.

    yeah it kinda crack me up that it tends to attract the same folk who did not trust fiat currency. That at least has laws about it having to be taken and a tax base. Only one I have any interest in is gridcoin because at least it has a basis of value and does not waste its energy.

    I still ponder if i should keep this post in my community because i'm not fond of bitcoin...

    And i know other currency (G1 la june, free currency) that work as a "basic income" and don't depend on farming computers with GPU.
