An interview with the author of Web3 Is Going Just Great
You’re a longtime editor and administrator of Wikipedia, which is often presented by crypto people as a web3 dream project: a decentralized public good operated by its community. And yet something tells me you think about decentralization and community very differently than they do. How do your experiences at Wikipedia shape the way you view web3?
When I watch DAOs spring into existence and encounter a lot of the same difficulties we’ve seen over and over again, I often find myself wondering how many members have ever been involved in community-run projects in the past. I think a lot of people are dipping their toes in for the first time, and learning a lot of things the hard way, with very high stakes.
I’d invite them to take a look at any of the Wikipedia-like projects that have tried to do exactly this. Everipedia is probably the most well-known example, and it’s been around since 2014. They’ve had seven years to figure it out, but the project is largely still a graveyard of content they’ve just scraped off Wikipedia, articles that people have written about themselves, and, increasingly, crypto spam.
I think there’s also a lot of value in giving short, digestible descriptions of the types of things that are happening in web3, without delving too deep into the technology or specifics.
In a lot of ways, people are also tying themselves to the technology in ways that I haven’t really seen before.
