Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3. (lemmy.world)

I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars "web3"

I've loved that part of reddit and still do to a point. The thing that's been creeping into the platform is the problem with bots and astroturfing.

My favourite part was AMAs by scientists and authors or even ppl like Gov Schwarzenegger. I hope fediverse develops to that point one day.

I remember when AMAs were organic and people actually answered questions. Before prepared questions and answers became a thing.

I loved seeing those IAMAs too. Schwarzenegger, Obama, NASA scientists and Woody Harrelson (can we talk about Rampart?)! Unfortunately I think the web is worse now, far too much focus on monetization, bots, propaganda> and astroturfing.

I'm hoping that Lemmy flies under the radar in the sweet spot of enough subscribers but not too many.
