I’m honestly surprised it’s lasted this long. Especially given the third party app shutoff.

Kinda surprised nobody mentioned this before. Like what is .ml? I’ve never heard of that. Lemmy.world is a much more approachable name.

Honestly a lot of the lemmy instance names are really bad too.

Their application questions are also kinda weird. I was gonna sign up for beehaw and the application really turned me off.

Yeah, I think you’re right. My memory of the book is rustier, I know they changed a lot, and I can’t remember all of the differences. My thought was mostly that Zuck is looking for more along the lines of what the evil corporation that wants to take it over would turn it into. Not what it was to start with.

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.
