Reactions so far pretty much miss the point.
The option for an account that is not a faceboof one goes beyond your believes about privacy or what you feel about Meta as a company in general.
For instance the Meta account doesn't have a real ID policy, you won't get banned because your name doesn't look authentic.
You also won't be subject to the whole legacy of restrictions and issues that were bound to facebook accounts. People who linked their real facebook to the quest of fear of getting flagged can also now isolate their accounts (even if behind the scene there is still a link, they won't be appearing in Horizon with their main account at least.
And I'm just scratching the surface. Yes this move matters, even if it's not what everyone dreamed of.

- makeitdouble 4y agoThe same way Instagram doesn't get all the Facebook rules injected into them, I'd expect Meta accounts and new services to keep different rules and different moderation. Like Instagram it might be gross on the backend and privacy data etc., but that ship has sailed the day Meta/Facebook bought Oculus. Nobody buying a Quest at this point should expect puppies and rainbows on that front.
