From my understanding it seems like Web5 is using something called a decentralized web node that is either self hosted or hosted by providers. I believe they're using blockchain under the hood for storage.
The commentary by one of the architects is interesting because it seems like nostr affords more privacy, and users have a proclivity to organize around clients/services by way of nature.
Web node sounds exactly like a relay. The screenshot is nonsense. You can absolutely run your own relay and your data will be there. Don’t know what he’s talking about.
Who is running these web nodes? How many? How easy is it to run your own? What if they rug your data?
Isn’t this what nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m's TBD setup is all about - https://developer.tbd.website/docs/web5/
NB. I understand very little about this.
