Facebook doing Second Life over again was predicted when they started VR, it just doesn't seem like that big of a change to me.
But I've already made up my mind on it, and I can assure you not everyone goes along with Facebook.

Maybe we need something like an http/html standard for the metaverse? Heck, even commercial offerings built on top of Ethereum sounds much better then built on top of Facebook. To me it's like Microsoft in the 90s trying to claim they can build a better proprietary Internet... In that sense its actually pretty scary, so let's hope Zuckerberg and his unethical leadership isn't the one to succeed since given past track record its not gonna be pretty.

No communication standards can lower garden walls, because the walls and complexity are the point, when you sell ads for communication platforms But then, restaurants and other businesses relying on Facebook exclusively to have an online presence (often inaccessible to those with no account) seems like a bad idea to me, but it happens.
