true web3 = web1 p2p + web2 tooling
me
an evolved, user-owned web where you have access to the world in a way only you control

In summary, Web3 is about what you want to do, post, read, play, chat, or interact without others saying otherwise.
It is about freedom of speech and freedom of economy.

The basics of Web3 is the sum of all the open networks and ecosystems. You should be able to access and visit any of
these places. You can compare this to accessing things on Google, Facebook, Apple, or other networks/platforms that
are generally walled gardens in the current web system.

slop being churned out

[...] neocities is web3 :3 its a nice lil place for people to make their own sites without needing to worry about
hosting

Web3 is also intended to help create a creator economy. It's meant to support the little guy and have an open
community system where people can thrive peer to peer (P2P) and earn a living, without invasion of privacy or
de-platforming.
Many will argue that it's not a real problem if you don't do anything illegal, but that's not removing the
possibility of your favorite service disappearing over night, it's just your decision to ignore it and
eventually deal with consequences.
Web3 is meant to be here for those who don't want to accept such risks and take the data ownership back in own
hands.

To those that see Web3 as DeFi, we ask this: Do you go on your web browser to access TradingView or other market
tools as your homepage, or do you go check your social media, email, and news sites, as well as your money?

Web3 as an ideal is supposed to be about you,
the user, not you,
the builder. I have seen various ideas suggesting Web3 is
read + write + own, and I can largely agree, though many builders don't agree with the route to
achieve that.

A new, good internet is possible, and necessary. We can build it, with all the technological self-determination of
the old, good internet, and the ease of use of Web 2.0. A place where we can find each other, coordinate and
mobilize to resist and survive climate collapse, fascism, genocide and authoritarianism. We can build that new, good
internet. We must.
