how come nobody is mentioning the inevitable cancer that kills every metaverse given enough time: griefers.
- ljm 5y agoYet social media has enabled, and arguably thrived on, griefing and trolling at an industrial scale. What's worrying is...what if FB manages to create a metaverse that thrives on the same toxicity that FB itself does. And through the Oculus makes the tech cheap and portable enough to get a critical mass of people involved in it.
- toofy 5y agoWhile I’m not seeing much around this topic in this particular forum, it is being discussed in many places. The general consensus seems to be (and at this point I wholeheartedly agree) FB attempting to build a meta world is hysterical considering their seeming complete inability (with some unwillingness sprinkled in) to address trolls/astroturfing /misinformation on their flagship site was a significant driver of many people ceasing to use the site. If they screw up something like a vanilla social network, they have no shot at running an entire second life derivative. At least one where anyone other than NFT sneakerhead type marketing victims will willingly spend their valuable free time.
