 @Torfinn @mav @risottobias I mean… there’s plenty of protocols that have been around for decades that don’t work in common web browsers lol Web3 as a concept is just marketing, was my point. It’s not like we’d only still be on the 2nd version of the web or something lmao 13 comments
 @mav @EposVox @risottobias I have to ask have you actually read the IPFS white paper? https://github.com/ipfs/papers/blob/master/ipfs-cap2pfs/ipfs-p2p-file-system.pdf  @risottobias @mav @EposVox so what you don’t like about web3 primitives is that they prioritize digital chain of custody and you disagree with digital ownership? @Torfinn @risottobias @EposVox creating digital scarcity from objects that shouldn't be scarce is more capitalism. In a world that needs a lot less capitalism. So this gets into things that I would call "evil" DRM is bad and so is this. @Torfinn @risottobias @EposVox suddenly this place feels a lot more like Twitter. @mav @risottobias @EposVox I don’t know how to say this in a way that isn’t capitalistic but I have data I may not want to share with you but I hope to store and I don’t expect someone to provide that service to me entirely for free although I really like the idea that you could store that data for me and make enough money to justify doing it without giving a bunch of money to AWS at a cost that equates to the cost of running the network and not incentivizing some big organization @Torfinn @risottobias @EposVox But that's not a function of IPFS, you're talking about something like Filecoin. You could just as easily do that with a handshake agreement and a direct value transfer of your choice, and save a lot of trees. There’s a really easy way to fix that. Bing! I just fixed my feed. @Torfinn @EposVox @risottobias I haven't no. Please tell me it doesn't use a blockchain. |

@EposVox @mav @risottobias that’s fair. However, arguably this is an entire ecosystem of interdependent protocols which build on one another. I wouldn’t exactly put some one off open source project that presently has no real adoption in that same category. What would you call all this stuff? NFT’s, IPFS, decentralized finance? These things couldn’t be further apart in data model/schemas but simultaneously they leverage the same tech stack/principles.
