The metaverse has a groping problem already
A woman was sexually harassed on Meta’s VR social media platform. She’s not the first—and won’t be the last.- I don’t understand how they’ve managed to forget everything we learned from second life. This is like a headline from 20 years agoscarabin

Her Instagram Handle Was ‘Metaverse.’ Last Month, It Vanished.
Five days after Facebook changed its name to Meta, an Australian artist found herself blocked, with seemingly no recourse, from an account documenting nearly a decade of her life and work.

The more I read about the "Metaverse", the more it sounds like hot air. I keep reading, I understand what I'm reading, but I can't really believe they're not kidding.
It's gonna be... what? A VR Second Life? Is everyone going to need Oculus glasses, haptic suits and teledildonic devices to use the internet, sorry, Metaverse?
Probably just a PR stunt, I know...

@jagara
I think metaverse is already here, it's just that we need to stitch it together.
It's less about a VR / AR / silly avatar experience, more linking all your online activity into one identity, one 'verse'.
Eg, typical day: check your iPhone in morning, emails, message, qbn, news, stocks/crypto. Work -login into work systems, chat areas, scheduling. Get home and it's netflix, call of duty, instagram, porn.
At the moment those are all separate websites, unique logins and identities. What if the www web was more of a curated room/space, and you access it with one identity. That's sounding more like a metaverse.
And then it seems the ideal is to lift all of that experience off from rectangle screens, and get it more into the lived environment, via some glasses, ar + vr.
And instead of multiple logins and passwords, it'd be more like crypto, a wallet of identities, unique to you, like a set of nfts.
- The shining in light of hope though is web3, decentralised and autonomous communities.shapesalad
- How does 'decentralized' make a positive difference if it's all still manipulated/controll... by the same methods (ie bitcoin)?formed
- This all looks like Facebook's perfect wet dream - control identities, control currency, etc. It makes even more sense (for them).formed
- Personally, I don't really get 'decentralized' when it's still built/controlled by a few large/powerful players. Maybe that's just me.formed
- Yeah, I'd expect more than a little resistance to Meta being the overarching corporation over... the entire internet?jagara

How do they get away with not being sued by companies with the same name and very similar logos?

- Trademark law is bit of a puzzle... Meta might not have been trademarked in the social media category/bucket of companies so Meta the design agencyjonny_quest_lives
- Might not be able to sue as they are distinctly different services that is if Meta design ever bothered to even register a trademark in the first placejonny_quest_lives

- I suspect it's money. Jim Beam whiskey tried to a sue a friends product design company because they were using J&B logo that looked nothing like theirs.Chimp
