Just a lil tidbit of news of some web3 based company going away.

i happen to think that a gaming audience actually might want a good game, but who i am to judge when the people responsible for the game are crypto bros
Taylor's Wift ( @pikesley@mastodon.me.uk ) 19•7 months ago@baguettefish @swlabr To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand NFT games
LoamImprovement ( @LoamImprovement@beehaw.org ) English20•7 months agoMe, a bigly IQ individual: “These games kind of look like dogshit.”
jol ( @jol@discuss.tchncs.de ) English17•7 months agoI’m so glad nft died off. Now we can focus on the real web3, which is Web completely devoid of human input, totally automated content generation 24/7, while humans refuge in small fediverse pockets.
sc_griffith ( @sc_griffith@awful.systems ) English14•7 months agooccurring to me that this server would be a great spot for a crypto skeptic sub, meme stock skeptic sub, etc
David Gerard ( @dgerard@awful.systems ) English11•7 months agosomeone tried starting a r/buttcoin replacement https://awful.systems/c/Buttcoin@kbin.social but it’s basically dead
locallynonlinear ( @locallynonlinear@awful.systems ) English10•7 months agoOddly, r/buttcoin is still doing well enough that it’s one of the few places I still stop by on reddit. Can’t say the same for any community still on twitter, dough.
sc_griffith ( @sc_griffith@awful.systems ) English7•7 months agoI see I see. well the subreddit is fine, although I’m not a huge fan of going there and seeing slurs
acausal_masochist ( @acausal_masochist@awful.systems ) English2•7 months agoIt would be nice to have a version here without the slurs. I can stand the obnoxious liberal takes, but there’s a line somewhere.
self ( @self@awful.systems ) English2•7 months agofuck it, buttcoin interest check thread
self ( @self@awful.systems ) English2•7 months agodefinitely feel free to open an interest check thread for a new community — I’m not against the idea at all, and if there’s enough interest (and maybe a funny name suggestion) I’ll create it
David Gerard ( @dgerard@awful.systems ) English3•7 months agoi mean, the only name is buttcoin
self ( @self@awful.systems ) English3•7 months agohuh… nothing can actually, technically stop us from starting a buttcoin sub here, can it
self ( @self@awful.systems ) English5•7 months agoI consider it absolutely in scope for TechTakes given our focus (crypto is just one techfash grift among many) and the composition of our community; we can revisit and maybe split off a community if the volume of crypto shit ever gets overwhelming though
carlitoscohones ( @carlitoscohones@awful.systems ) English11•7 months ago“the evolution of web3 gaming”
Extinction is a kind of evolution in its final form.
JakenVeina ( @JakenVeina@lemm.ee ) English10•7 months agoI feel like I don’t really want to know what the fuck web3 is.
naevaTheRat ( @naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English11•7 months agoYou know how digitally you can copy shit for practically free and that’s awesome? what if you thought that was awful
earthquake ( @earthquake@lemm.ee ) English5•7 months agoThe axiomatic definition of web3 as innovation rings a little hollow in such a farewell message.
In case you need to go back to the same grift you can’t break kayfabe.
