Web3 is already making inroads piece by piece into the web.
It started with ssh. Once keys were exchanged, you did not have to trust the infrastructure providers anymore. You knew whom you are talking to and that the communication is not tampered with. Similar with https.
A recent development is that ActivityPub profiles have private keys and publish their public keys. So if you run your own Fediverse node, you already are in control of keys that identify you as you.
I think this trend will continue to slowly put the social graph into the hands of the people.
- pornel 4y agoThat is a dishonest retcon giving the new buzzword credit for other people's existing work. You can't just say "MyFoo stands for good things, look there's a good thing over there, therefore MyFoo is working".
- acdha 4y agoBoth of the things you mentioned predate the "web3" marketing term and do not use any of the cryptocurrencies which that term is being used to market, and the ActivityPub people do not seem to be fans of cryptocurrencies. It's dishonest to try to claim credit for their work.
