What's funny about the "metaverse" is that by the definition from Snow Crash, the internet as we know it is already a metaverse: a bunch of distinct digital spaces which users are free to "travel" between, and the system as a whole isn't owned by any one group. Conversely, Meta's idea of the metaverse is, by definition, not a metaverse because it'd be owned by them as a platform.
Dude, I never thought of that! And some users have already pointed out that the metaverse idea is already dead and Zuck's company is in shambles. This is a weird time for social media isn't it? Facebook's company is slowly dying, Tik-Tok is getting banned (or at least in the process of it) Elon killed Twitter, and the u/spez is murdering Reddit. This is the perfect time for the Fediverse isn't it?
It’s either this or we go outside, but the sun is out there. And people.
