Increasingly, I don’t think web3 is the next iteration of the web that will replace web2, but rather a fork that will run in parallel.

Not a strong opinion yet but something I can’t shake. 

Also not sure how I feel about it if true.

Thoughts?

Not sure whether I'd call it a fork but agree that won't replace it. I've always seen it as an extension of the web that adds new capabilities.

OAuth didn't fully replace email/password and social media didn't fully replace blogs and newsletters.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Ironically this was on Instagram but this is a pretty cool "new capability".
I create an NFT on Showtime.xyz, someone collected it and I get notified when they shared it on Instagram.

It's simple but something that wasn't possible before without business deals and such. https://i.imgur.com/6anQhzH.jpg

Yeah, but the “new capabilities” are floating under the surface right now (namely true digital ownership).

Farcaster/Lens/etc are great examples with regard to existing social networks. 

They’re not providing net new capabilities (at least not yet) for the most part, but “forks”.
