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"

This has always been my understanding of the web generations:

Web 1: Everyone posts content on their own separate website
Web 2: Everyone posts content on a single website owned by a big corp
Web 3: Everyone posts content on each other's websites, or on a decentralized network of sites like the Fediverse

Web 2 was when the buttons got gradients, Web 3 was when we removed them for flat again

Web4 brings back marquee and blink, but with gradients and glitter.

If a website doesn't give you a seizure or a migraine within 10 seconds, it cannot be web 4.0 compliant.

Man, 3D buttons with gradients were the hottest shit for a while. Also, the animated buttons that would just do a crappy flip or rotate for no reason whatsoever other than the tech made it possible.

So much this. I remember lots of 3D text exploding, rendered to poorly dithered gif
