Ask HN: Looking for Web3 communities excluding cryptocurrency,DeFi NFT,Metaverse

6 points by yonz 5y ago

Hello Everyone, I am looking to connect with people working on web3 products focused on composability & dataownership. The mindshare of web3 today is dominated by cryptocurrency, DeFi, NFTs, metaverse ... but my focus is on challenging data monopolies and simplifying users fractured internet experience. To give an idea, here are some products I am currently tracking: anytype.io fission.codes inrupt.com login.xyz museapp.com textile.io brave.com/themis/ If you have any groups (discord, lobster, matrix...) or people that are engaged in this space please share them below. Also if there are other products I should track drop a share those as well. Thank you, -Yonz

  Primarily thinking about walled gardens like google and facebook, the local first paper https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/ https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/ does a great job of breaking it down. I personally want to see a world where everyone has a personal graph stored and p2p synced across their devices and light frontend that create value from this hub.

  What is your vision for web3.net? I opened it and saw a brief text. It would be great to have that domain be a landing page for communities that are operating in the space. I was hoping web3 foundation would have something like that but it seems they skewed a lot towards polkadot based things https://web3.foundation/projects/ https://web3.foundation/projects/ I am interested, what would be the best way to reach you?
