Twitter seems to be the go-to place for these discussions. Partly because many of the web3 participants are actively trying to build communities around themselves that they can leverage in their crypto activities. There isn’t much interest in anonymous discussions. Frankly, there’s not really any interest in honest discussions because the participants have all realized that telling people exactly what they want to hear and hinting that they can get rich is a golden way to collect a lot of Twitter followers right now. Many of the big personalities are launching expensive crypto courses or NFTs and they need a lot of true believer followers to sell to.

The challenge with web3 is that almost nobody is actually using web3 for anything other than doing more web3 speculation. That makes this virtually impossible to find this:

> I’m interested in the tech/practical applications, as opposed to the hype/emotion.

Even the people discussing the potential practical applications aren’t the people who are using it. The people talking about it are the people trying to sell it or speculate on it.
