Recently, platforms have been improving at using decentralized tools that empower community members to explore other platforms and decentralized applications with their interoperable data and assets, tackling the “lonely island” problem. Blockchain operators are working toward giving users the controls to reshape and reimagine their digital experience in their vision, a refreshing take. It certainly beats corporate giants, algorithms and advertisers making crucial decisions on behalf of their users.

Just look at X (formerly Twitter). It was acquired, changed its name to X, enforced massive algorithm changes — which pleased some and alienated others — and some people who had spent years building audiences walked away frustrated. The users never had control. They were exposed to the harsh reality that algorithms can change, accounts can be banned, and platforms can go bust or be acquired overnight. Your follower count suddenly became meaningless. These are (still) Web2’s inherent risks.

Kuhnert is right, by the way. It is up to Web3 builders, investors, users and those curious enough to experiment with the technology to think more about what control means to them. There was ownership in Web2 but no control, so it was hollow. There were accounts, posts, followers, books and songs, and it really felt like it belonged to us, but the platforms always controlled it — we didn’t. This lack of user control was the biggest failure of Web2, and the thought of Web3 repeating it is dreadful.

Markus Kuhnert, CEO of 1iO — which is building the foundation of decentralized collaboration — recently stressed that Web3’s primary goal should be giving users complete control over their data. “Web3 is all about cutting out the middleman economy,” he said. “It’s about ownership, owning the data, owning the infrastructure.” 1iO’s official stance is, “We eliminate intermediaries. You individually decide with whom you want to share your data and under what conditions.” That is an ideal that Web3 needs to uphold.
