I don’t use Semantic Web technologies anymore, though they still influence me
I could write a book on what&#x27;s wrong with the semantic web. One of the worst isn&#x27;t even technical, it&#x27;s the community. There are some great people in the community but there are also a large number of extremely toxic people that drive people away. If the technology ever takes off it&#x27;s going to be because some outside community cherry-picks the good parts and tells those people to f-off. That&#x27;s already starting to happen and you&#x27;ll hear no end of bitching from people in the semantic web community about how they&#x27;re reinventing what they&#x27;ve already done years ago. Guess what? You&#x27;re right. You&#x27;re so toxic that it&#x27;s worth redoing everything if it means they don&#x27;t have to deal with the toxic attitudes.
