Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'd have thought that web3 would be seen as a positive thing, since it's a lot about decentralisation, and taking back privacy & ownership of data. Is crypto why it's considered blasphemous?
If anything, web2.0 has seen rampant abuse of privacy, that is slowly being reigned in.
I mean, in terms of use... Name all the decentralized networks that the general public is aware of? Mastadon roughly 1 million active users, at a time when musk has let Xitter shit the bed to drop... to like 200 million users.
Meanwhile there's a bitcoin option on every ATM I go to in every gas station. Fact is if you ask around the table at thanksgiving, unless you have a very nerdy family.. odds are no one will be familiar with any web 3 items you name, other than crypto... and largely crypto will mostly only be known for it's worse applications. A speculative gambling investment that is popular to use to buy illegal goods with.
Right, I suppose if you asked 100 people about web3, crypto would likely be the top answer atm.
Ask 100 people about web3 and 99 will say "there's 3 webs? I just use the one"
Yeah I would say more accurately, if you asked 100 people specifically about "have you ever heard of Mastadon, or Lemmy" you'll get 99% "huh".
if you ask the same people about crypto.. I'd expect closer to 80-90% to have at least heard of crypto... Especially now that we have a president about to lead a crypto scam.
