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 Honestly, that's about the most damning indictment of web3 that I could imagine. If it was everything that its proponents claimed, now would truly be its time to shine.
@cgranade @anildash imagine people rushing to exchanges to get tokens to set up handles and then managing wallets, etc... It would have been a scam plagued shitstorm.
