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.

    For starters the fediverse is real and it works, the metaverse is peering into Zuckerbergs asshole

    Well the fediverse works. The fediverse is what internet was meant to be, before corporations sized it and made it the nightmare that centralised social media is. The “metaverse” is just Zuckerberg’s desperation to maintain his decadent model of social media afloat.

    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.
