You can't say something that's generally beloved like Urbit!

By the logic of web3 critics, everything they consider 'good' isn't part of web3.

Is this sarcasm? Urbit is one of the most obfuscated and bizarre software projects in history. It makes TempleOS look like a model of clarity and common sense.

If Urbit is now a flag-bearer for web3, I don’t think the aforementioned mother-in-law will have to worry about trying to understand this stuff during her lifetime.

You moved the goalposts a fair amount between

and

> flag-bearer for web3

These are projects that are attempting solutions. I wasn’t claiming they work, but they’re figuring things out and seeing what needs to be rebuilt to get a working social model on top of web3.

Interesting!

Didn't know that. I just read that some people here were like "I really wanna try Urbit".
