This isn't what users want in general, and you don't need crypto to get it. What you're asking for exists with things like mastodon. No one advocating how/why they think crypto will succeed when things like mastodon failed. Hell, RSS failed. The average user wants easy to use, easy to connect, free, and fast services. Crypto fails at all of these.
- mattwilsonn888 5y agoThe narrative driving Web3 is that people don't want to be treated like cattle. Or in your parlance, "the average user." Just because people are slow to wake with the contracts they made with centralized platforms doesn't mean they are so dull as to not care when they finally figure it out.
- jshen 5y agoPeople want things to be cheap and convenient. Convincing yourself otherwise is a mistake.
- mattwilsonn888 5y agoFalse dichotomy. Convincing yourself that all blockchain will ever be is data posted in Bitcoin PKscripts is embarrassing.

- Kiro 5y agoI never said anything about crypto. I said that you should _not_ conflate decentralization with blockchain and yet people attack me as if I was advocating for crypto. This just proves my original point that people hate crypto so much that they automatically attack decentralization in general.
- jshen 5y agoOr maybe you didn’t communicate your point effectively. My point holds for non crypto decentralization as well. Consumers choose against, no matter how much tech people like us want it.
