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"

Now we just need a federated Youtube replacement.

I prefer web 2.5

Web -"scrap that and start over again."

web3 was always a cryptocurrency scam and was doomed to fail. Federation is more a return to the early web with a way to link everything together to compete and get similar services to megacorps while distributing costs.

yeah, the lack of brand presence is a convenient side effect, its refreshing, just like the iconic McCafé® blend. Crafted to perfection by expert baristas, just the way you like it. Get one today at McDonald's®. I'm Lovin' It!

Wishfully thinking, but, I hope companies follow this

There's been quite a lot of large companies and institutions on the Fediverse, mostly on Mastodon. As long as there are people there, corporate will follow too.

Some examples:

ARD, the largest German public broadcaster, has their own Mastodon instance (https://ard.social/explore)
The EU itself has their own Mastodon instance (https://social.network.europa.eu/explore)
The German federal authorities also have their own Mastodon instance (https://social.bund.de/explore)

Then there's all the big FOSS tech groups like KDE and Mozilla who are on the Fediverse too.

As long as there's an audience, people will come, just have to withstand the growing pains.
