    Hi all, today I'm launching a side-project I've been working on for a while: Web3 Readers' Club. I think the internet lacks spaces for discussion: most sites operate in the form of public posts where the goal is to get you post as much visibility and attention as possible. I think this creates a lot of toxicity as people are incentivised to write "hot takes" that capture the most attention. This is especially true for crypto and Web3, where people have a monetary incentive to shill projects they bought into.

    Web3 Readers' Club tries to solve this problem by building around semi-private group chats. This makes it easy to discuss topics in small groups, without the need to perform for a large audience.

    We're just starting out so for now this is just an experiment, but we'll see where it goes.
