And then went straight over to X, another social media silo, to post that his other social media account at the other silo was banned. What a world we live in.

This is not an anomaly, by the way. I've interviewed many multiple Meta staffers (including senior leaders), and can find little evidence that leadership actually read "Snow Crash" and/or even cared about virtual worlds. Even after spending tens of billions claiming they were building the Metaverse. Some background: https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/05/horizon-worlds-meta-horizo...
