I used to be big into Second Life... a long time ago. Its not "bad" because it's old, but it never really took off beyond the initial craze of "this is going to be the next internet!". I remember visiting the Reuters "office" in SL ( https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/reuters-opens-virtual-news-bureau-139720 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/reuters-opens-virtual... )... that closed down just a couple years later ( https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2008/nov/23/reuters-quits-secondlife https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2008/nov/23/reut... ).
Last time I checked it out, it was a very different world. Fairly stagnant overall. Except for the furries and adult content. Not that there is anything wrong with those things, but do you want to be taking your school kids on a virtual field trip with that?
