As long as it's P2P without involving any cryptocurrencies, I don't see why you'd label it "Web3"?

Edit: seems Ethereum is a opt-in optional part of Radicle, so I see how people could believe it to be a part of the whole "Web3" effort.

Well, as long as I can run it without Ethereum, I'm happy.

It literally says Web3 on the second heading of the landing page.

As my edit mentions, seems at least that part is opt-in rather than a core of the protocol. So you can use it without "Web3" if you want.

Web3 is the decentralized web.

Cryptocurrencies are just an extra. No wonder, people here hating on Web3 all the time, if they don't understand that.

...no, the decentralized web is just the web.

Web3 is utterly synonymous with cryptocurrency. Plenty of people here understand what it is and what is discussed when the term is brought up.

If you think that while using HN, Twitter, FB, GitHub, Google, or anything like that, then bless your heart.

You appear to have completely missed the point of my comment, but given that you ended this comment with a bad attempt to be condescending I suppose I'm not surprised.

Crypto hype projects continuously obscure the facts with confusing marketing hype. One thing I couldn't work out from the page is how much it costs to use. It was my understanding that pretty much all web3 projects are hit hard with transaction fees for any change.

Cryptocurrencies are a way to get funding for web3 infrastructure in a decentralized way. Sadly, it's not the only way cryptocurrencies can be used.

I think, IPFS and Radicle did good here by not making these type of payments mandatory.

They said: if you don't want to run all that stuff yourself, pay someone to host your node. If you want that someone to host nodes in a decentralized matter, you can pay them with crypto.
