Can you imagine what a dystopian sci-fi hell hole the metaverse could be with facebook at the helm? They can't even moderate a website.. the hubris is pretty amazing.
- handrous 5y agoTheir business model depends on operating in a way that's nearly impossible to effectively moderate, and abusive (see all the stories about what Facebook moderators have to see) to try. The only way to fix the problem is to... not operate the business that way, since it's fundamentally a bad idea, considered from that perspective. Which would effectively mean the death of the company, unless they found some totally different and similarly-profitable business model they could transition to.
- hungryhobo 5y agoi mean i get the hate, but categorize moderating facebook as 'can't even moderate a website' is pretty outrageous
- bostonsre 5y agoI meant to stress that their metaverse vision seems to be a much more massive endeavor and that it would probably be a good idea to learn to walk, or moderate their website (or whatever you want to call their tech that interfaces with their users through a website and app) before they try to run and create something that they most likely will also not be able to control effectively.
