This is like calling a blockchain “decentralized”
How is it a metaverse if there’s only one canonical environment hosted at Facebook.com?

#82Looking forward to logging in once and drawing as many dicks as possible in zucks metaverse before I'm banned.
This sort of disruption will probably be considered virtual terrorism one day... Imagine the CIA torturing some poor soul over dicks in the zuckerverse.
Does the CIA torture people that draw dicks in the real world?

#83Imagine being able to say random stuff like this and getting rich off it as the stock market reacts. Must be nice.
In the "post-scarcity" world of 2021, tweets by influencers are Porsches and offhand comments by Zucks are a few lifetimes of earnings of the average underling.

#84>> “A good vision for the metaverse is not one that a specific company builds, but it has to have the sense of interoperability and portability”, Mr Zuckerberg said, adding that there should be protocols like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) internet standards for defining how experiences will be built. Except defined by Facebook, so not really anything like W3C.
Top reason Facebook won't succeed here: they're too greedy. Say what you want about MS and Google, but they left a lot of money and opportunity on the table for others. Facebook... notsomuch. Which works fine when you start with a first mover platform. But doesn't work nearly as well when trying to grow a platform from nothing. Here's hoping the effort crashes into the ground.
When the other option is being forcibly broken up as a monopoly, your greed would advise you to lose less rather than more.

#85metaverse? does this mean in the real world we can get some nuclear powered robotic guard dogs, and portable beta-test linear accelerator miniguns?

#86My fake FB account just shows TikTok videos and left wing propaganda and its even paid post promotion. I don't know how the advertisers make money off of that.
Propaganda ads don't need to make a sale. Slowly changing your opinion on something is the payoff.

There’s something about FB threads that really attracts Reddit-style comments.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will turn into a ‘metaverse’
#90LOL. No. A week or so ago I unfriended every one of my 'friends' on Facebook, many there since 2007. I'm now just squatting my own identity for the handful of community and sports clubs that use Facebook as a bulletin board. These people are 'acquaintances', I know most of them by sight, but don't see what they're having for breakfast or when their baby does something amazing. So, basically neighbours in a village. I…
> I realised I did not want to be the reason people were using Facebook
I gave up my Facebook account about a decade ago. Not for this reasons (although I very much agree with it), but because I realized that I wasn't using it. Friends and family would try to communicate with me over it, and they wouldn't get a response because I wasn't looking.
A lot of them thought I was ignoring them, so I figured it was better to not have a presence there at all, to eliminate any possible misunderstanding.
