Interesting work... although I can't find where it talks about likes/mentions/comments _across_ federated instances, maybe I'm missing something. Outside the DID portability thing, seems a little like reinventing Mastodon to me. Signed up for the waitlist, will see how it goes. https://twitter.com/...

“We just build the slot machines, you can't blame us for what people do in the casino” is a pretty bold strategy for rationalizing what you do. https://twitter.com/...

Is this enough to save the big bet that is “Metaverse”? In my opinion, no... unless Meta begin shipping a popular video game like Fortnite or Roblox which quickly become their closest competitors if they shift to phone + desktop.

Meta unveils Avatars Store, where users can buy digital clothes for avatars, and plans to make it a marketplace where developers can create and sell clothing

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that the company is launching a digital designer clothing store called the “Meta Avatars Store.”

Recommend watching this video which explains the massive limitations of VR. VRChat does have a “desktop mode” which I tried out recently sans headset. It felt super clunky and just like a slightly more polished version of Second Life from 15 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/...

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that the company is launching a digital designer clothing store called the “Meta Avatars Store.”

There are a lot of smart people at Meta, so I think they recognize this. I assume it's why they've added those cringey avatars to Instagram that look like Xbox Live avatars from literally a decade ago. I would anticipate a way to “use” those avatars in IG, FB, etc. soon.

Unless “the Metaverse” leaves VR and comes to phones and laptops/desktops soon, it's just not happening. Meta have sold 10M Quest 2 headsets, which may sound impressive. But that's less than 1% of PC gamers and a fraction of a percent of smart phone users.
