@wesley RSS is the one great concept we mostly forgot about.

I am not sure what happened. Web 2.0, MySpace and Facebook I guess?

@murks @wesley@fosstodon.org Weren't RSS and Atom among the hallmarks of Web 2.0? Then like all good things they faded away, while all the bloat remained and flourished.

@m0xee @wesley I am not sure of the timeline.
It really is a shame that it faded away. I guess it did not help either to have at least three competing standards.

Still, it may have faded, but the tech is still there. Maybe it will see a revival.

@m0xee @murks @wesley Yes, when Web 2.0 was mostly Blogging, Wikis and other forms of "user generated content", before that was monopolized by big social. The initial ideas of Web 2.0 were not as bad and centralized as web3 people will make you think.

@doxanthropos @m0xee @wesley Honestly, web3 does not exist in my world. I don't think anyone besides some crypto bros cares or even knows about it.

@doxanthropos You're right, it wasn't about centralization at all at its inception! It even had some sort of decentralization in form of OpenID, so you didn't have to make a separate account for every blog you wanted to comment on, but it still got us to the point we are in today: hypercentralization and AJAX turned into a total shitshow!
And yeah, I'm also not into this Web 3.0 thing at all, Web 2.0 became something really bad regardless of that.
