Who Is “Web3” For?
https://strangematters.coop/web3-vs-fediverse-decentralized-internet/

> Like radioactivity, blockchain can be a useful tool in solving certain kinds of problems. Like dental hygiene, the decentralization of global communication platforms is an important problem, but not necessarily the right application for the instrument.

> Like Doromad Radioactive Toothpaste, web3 has little to do with solving the stated problem, and everything to do with profiting off of a buzzword, resulting in more harm than good in the process.

I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.

This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.

You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!

@web3isgreat has been automatically crossposting for a few months now, but it imports a lot of twitter junk and it feels rude to just blast that in to mastodon when it's really not necessary. just need to figure out a good solution.
may be time to move this up the to-do

for fans of @web3isgreat, my newsletter, and the various other public work i've been doing, there will be no change there! this will enable me to continue that work, not replace it.

since there's nothing else really going on today, i figured it would be a good time to announce that i'm starting a fellowship with the Harvard Library Innovation Lab to continue my research and other work for the next year! really excited.
