I’d much rather see sites like Lemmy, PeerTube, and Mastodon see widespread adoption then the dystopian cyberpunk fever dream in the head of Zuckerburg. Did you not read the novel dude? It’s a freaking warning! That’s like Jeff Bezos reading Fahrenheit 451 and going “holy crap dude, gotta make that a reality like, yesterday!” I want the Fediverse, not the Metaverse! Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
Yes, the Fediverse is actually awesome. It’s decentralized, there’s so many open-source implementations, etc etc. The Fediverse is what Zuckerberg wishes the Metaverse could be.
I respectfully disagree.
Zuck wants the metaverse to be what they show in the Ready Player One movie, which is not even close to what the fediverse is trying to be in any way.
He wants everyone to live in a virtual world that he alone controls.
