When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.
@anildash that we haven’t seen a web3 company waiting in the wings with a Twitter alternative this past week speaks volumes about its inability / lack of desire to do social media right.
@MikeRiverso @anildash well it makes a lot of sense really. Elon is the king of the toxic crypto bros otherwise he wouldn't have been proposing a pay to tweet model to his brother. There wouldn't be a "web3" alternative because they found comfort grifting their ICO and NFT scams on Twitter
