I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, but I’ll just leave this as a placeholder for now: most vocal criticism of web3 sucks right now. Not because it’s necessarily wrong on a factual basis, but because it’s wildly ineffective & ignores context.

They've already made an argument that's appealing to a lot of artist and a lot of folks interested in decentralizing the web. The criticisms have not landed with those cohorts.

Fully agree with this point. There is so much prior art about decentralization being ignored. But most of the fediverse/indieweb folks I see have not engaged with decentralization fans to say "we've got stuff that's better/cheaper/already works".

As a creative working for a tech company, I’d love to find out more about those alternatives, if only as a point of comparison to web3. Where can I find out more about decentralization outside of the web3 hype?
