For those wondering, Mastodon contains no “web3” or crypto technology, and significantly predates any of that. The technology deployed here is primarily ActivityPub, which has roots in tech like RSS and PubSubHubbub.

It is noteworthy that “web3” designs are absent from the Twitter emigration discussion; that’s because it’s a scam and not fit for purpose.

The minute people start talking about adding crypto to the fediverse, run. That’s not what this is about and violates its spirit and design.

Ugh, OK, here we go.

Some of us are exhausted by the get rich quick scammers in the web3 space.

Hi I'm Angela. I work in web3 on open-source, collectively owned, community-governed, peer-to-peer systems. I am not a billionaire or trying to convince my friends and relatives to immediately dump their fiat.

I've worked on other distributed systems like ActivityPub, Pubsubhubbub, XMPP PubSub, Kafka and more.

I might just have something interesting to add to the conversation here.
