Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3.
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 do not like using Web3 to refer to federated platforms. Indeed, Web3 is strongly associated with blockchains, cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
To me Web3 meant federated or p2p stuff, like Secure Scuttlebutt, way before cryptocurrency and NFTs stole the term. I think we should steal it back rather than stop using it!
Web3 has been a pretty big disappointment in that case.
Lemmy is like web 1.5 with threads. Threads which still actually need a lot of work, I might add.
