Trying to claim the term “Web3” is a futile battle. It is already widely understood to mean crypto and blockchain. If I see a job posting that says the company is built on Web3, I know immediately that the job is built on scams and grifts without having to ask further questions. Web3 as a term is ruined already.

For this to work it must be a different term than Web3. Maybe “Web 3.0” is different enough?

Or perhaps Web 3.1. But seriously, I would call it the Federated Web.

Web 3.1 for Workgroups?

It's not a bad idea but federated is the term they're using to tell everybody not to get off reddit because it's too confusing.

I think whatever name you give it they're going to try to sell it as being too confusing.

You could call it distributed web but they'll taint that as soon as you stick it in front of them
