#Web 3.0

[fffmpreg]

people (mostly on twitter) are pissing me off so much with the "its reddit, who cares"

like, its not a social media, its a collection of forums, if you hate certain subs for their politics or opinions, dont visit those (you control the buttons you press or whatever)

meanwhile were about to lose so much information about niche hobbies and interests,

and these are the same people who were complaining last week that you cant find anything on google without adding "reddit" at the end,

are you fucking stupid, do you want to have to look through unrelated blogs and ai generated/pay walled quora answers everytime you need technical assistance or wanna talk about a hobby? is that what you want?

im this close to losing it

I said it 10 years ago, I'll say it again: IT people are the priest class of our era. Faith in gods is receding, money and power and fame is the main religion, people don't believe in greater purpose or hard work, and so from the ashes of a structured society rises the idiot child dressed as phoenix, glorified markov chains called "AI". People with no belief system of their own turn to AI to bring about the golden age, and the billionaires paying for it are laughing. Drink, drink, drink our kool-aid, we added something sweet to it. Don't send it to the lab for analysis, who has time to stop and think anymore. Just follow the trend. Live on Mars. Buy a nuclear shelter. Buy crypto. We will save you. We will save you. We will save you. Put your faith in us. We understand computers, don't ask how NFT works buddy. We will save you.

my biggest pet peeve with web 2.0 dying is that people really think that the cryptobro web 3.0 is the inevitable next step. like it's written in stone that the internet will take the form of NFTs and cryptocurrency and the "metaverse" in the future.

like. come on. when was the last time you've actually seen anything NFT related in the year of our lord 2023? has ANYONE other than the cryptobros and their bots on twitter been talking about it?? what about the "metaverse"??? im pretty sure Meta itself even dropped their vr "metaverse" crap.

also even if the "mainstream" internet DOES go in that direction, that doesn't mean we need to follow? Despite the total takeover of web 2.0 and social media, personal sites and forums DO still exist. there are still IRC chats and MUCKs and MUDs. We will still have websites and web browsers in a web 3.0-dominated internet. even if those become niche.

plus, i think the whole reason web 2.0 and social media took off in the first place was because it was convenient. rather than building your own website from scratch, you instead had your own profile that you can easily upload photos to and set your mood and make small posts. people saw it as a way to easily keep up with friends, so they flocked to it.

what the fuck does web 3.0 offer to the average person? needing to put on a clunky, expensive set of goggles to virtually attend a work meeting? artificial scarcity assigned to shitty monkey jpegs?? other than techbros and billionares creating artificial hype around this shit to get people flocking there, what actually has people staying?

Fancy Girls NFT - Coming November 2024

[conkreetmonkey]

Does Tumblr know that Reddit retconned all Reddit Gold, Silver, and other awards last month (even the $50+ ones, introduced only a few years ago), and deleted all Reddit Coins (the currency used to purchase awards) from everyone's accounts, ending with an ominous message about the site "heading in a new direction," then finally came out with a new system where the site will pay you $1 per Reddit Gold so long as you adhere to a YouTube-tier restrictive monetization policy and accumulate at least 10 within a year?

Site's going down the shitter. Thank god the monetization system is comically difficult to profit off of (keep in mind that gold costs several real world dollars on the viewer's end, and must be given willingly), if it was something actually viable the site would be flooded with algorithmic slop (which it already kind of is, but the bot problem is manageable assuming a sub's moderators actually give a shit/are still active)

(oh and btw they did try NFTs a year or two and it quite predictably bombed)

I think the reason Web 3.0 is failing so hard is that it wasn't really necessary. It was the typical corporate bullshit of, "We have to move forward so we have something to sell to these idiots. What do you mean the current product is already fine and everyone wants to keep it?? Don't you know we have money to make!"

Web 2.0 came into existence because average people started using mobile internet devices, and they soon outnumbered the old-timers with their desktop computers. Smaller, vertical screens, and the necessity for information to be as easy to find and read made Web 2.0 a requirement for the internet to keep succeeding.

Web 3.0 on the other hand... wasn't started because of anything. There aren't any new types of devices or users that require web access in a uniquely different way. A bunch of Silicon Valley nerds just started it because they needed to feel above other internet users, like their predecessors once did.

Web 1.0 was like 32-bit. It was good for a while, but eventually we had to move on because its limitations started showing.

Web 2.0 is like 64-bit. It was great at its inception, and it's still great today! Because of exponential growth, 64-bit is still capable of handing most technological needs for now and the foreseeable future.

Web 3.0 is like 128-bit. It's unnecessary for common computers right now. It's more effort and sweat than it's worth. One day, there will be 128-bit computers in your palms, and there will be a Web 3.0 (maybe called Web 3.1 or 4.0 because of what we botched in the 20s), but right now... we just don't need it, and the people saying we need Web 3.0 are the same as people saying we need 128-bit right now: It's just not true at the present moment because Web 2.0 and 64-bit are still very, very capable and very, very future-proofed technologies.

In face of hospital and ambulance bombing, Tumblr is censoring tags to help Israel manipulate public opinions. Neat.

Did Israel pay you or are you volunteering? You must love genocide a whole lot. But this is too obvious, you idiots. The people will remember you.

And to everyone, I hope you understand censoring political opinions will always eventually lead to this: stifling communication and information flow and cause the world to go downhill. We need better internet.

Freedom of Speech is the foundation of all other freedoms.

I hope all websites and apps that cite "accessibility" when they take away basic features and functionality die no matter what

now seems as good a time as any to crosspost something I wrote about twitter's api changes about grieving a web we never had, and my half-formed feelings about what it means to grieve a childhood vision of the future

When I saw the news about Twitter’s API, I couldn’t stop thinking about all of these things. About how knowledge of the web has gotten increasingly more specialized. About how Flash used to be a one-time purchase. About our loss of GeoCities, Angelfire, Yahoo Pipes. About how when I first researched making a website, my first results weren’t for something like WordPress, it was for full stack “web app” packages by startups with minimalist color schemes. It put me in a bad mood, and I couldn’t understand why I wanted to just scream. And then I realized.

I was grieving. I was grieving everything that could’ve been. There ARE good parts to Web 2.0; and if you look hard enough, you can even take advantage of them. But to think about what could’ve been, had corporatization not taken hold, had three platforms not gained control over the vast, vast majority of the web, fills me with legitimate grief. My head spins when I think about those early days and compare them to what we have now. I get overwhelmed thinking about everything a modern web dev has to keep in mind. I want to be able to buy Flash, learn basic coding, post something I make on deviantArt, and have it work. I want to stumble across data and information, and have it be beautiful and true. I want things online to exist, for the sake of existing. We’re all reaching for the crumbs of what we could’ve had. We’re lapping at the small puddles of what was left for us: customization, free tools, toys, information. Facebook took away gifs, and then graciously gives us looping video. Adobe took away Flash, then graciously gives us free Instagram editing. Our ability to freely interact with the web keeps getting stripped away, bit by bit by bit, and we don’t get a choice. We can only acquiesce, or outright refuse. There’s no more wishing for only the good parts if you’re not a web developer yourself. Forgive me for thinking it’s not just them who should be able to have fun anymore.
