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"

This is it 100%. I don’t think there is a major platform that does not already exist in the fediverse. I’m sure there is something, but even Instagram and YouTube can be replaced… well the YouTube one is hard due to the bandwidth and storage needed. But the tech is out there.

I think at some point this web3 will take over. Things like YouTube, will eventually come, but we need a lot of cost reduction in current tech to be able to do that.

We are finally taking the web back.

Yep. Definitely feels how it did before the corporate world learned how to take advantage of the online space. Feels good that we now have a solution to that ever growing issue.

I completely agree. It is almost like when you got to play at school but for some reason all the teachers were not there so it was more fun.
