Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

    Hi, can you explain what Web 2.0 means? Is it an actual software version or just referring to the currently pervasive paradigm of having one central authority owning and running a website? What comes after Web 2.0? Is there a Web 3.0?

      Web 3 is different things depending on who you ask. Block chain, decentralization, or whatever else. We dunno, we aren’t there yet. I personally believe federated services have a chance of being web 3 (and Blockchain is not relevant).

      Web 2 is basically big tech on the internet, everything becoming centralized. Everything became easy to use for the end user, all point and click.

      Web 1 was the stuff prior to that, when the internet was the wild west.

        Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. I’m excited to see what web3 is eventually going to be. Hopefully were moving towards decentralisation, not another corporate hellscape like Google(website DRM) wants it to be.
