First line on gab social media on wikipedia:

Gab is an American alt-tech microblogging and social networking service known for its far-right userbase. Widely described as a haven for neo-Nazis, racists, white supremacists, white nationalists, antisemites, the alt-right, supporters of Donald Trump, conservatives, right-libertarians, and believers in conspiracy theories such as QAnon, Gab has attracted users and groups who have been banned from other social media platforms and users seeking alternatives to mainstream social media platforms.

So it's a loony bin, got it. Web 2.0 really was a mistake.

3.0 ain't exactly looking much brighter

Web3 was dead on arrival; when your ecosystem is entirely wannabe digital landlords, you're not gonna get any content to actually attract users.

Oh don't get me wrong, web 2.0 was a massive mistake, but 3.0 is a deliberate fucking scam and nothing else.

I thought Web 2.0 was just dynamic Javascript and AJAX, as a step up from static webpages of the 90s. Am I missing something here?

Wikipedia:

Web 2.0 (also known as participative (or participatory) web and social web) refers to websites that emphasize user-generated content, ease of use, participatory culture and interoperability (i.e., compatibility with other products, systems, and devices) for end users.

It gave a voice and place to gather for all of society's crazies.
