I think that's the attraction for early adopters who build much of the foundations. Sort of like crypto, web3, DeFi and all that right now. A Wild West were only the smart survive and you can buy drugs and guns if you know how.
Zuckerberg's vision of the Metaverse is blessed by human resource managers who insist everyone follows the code of conduct and no one has genitals. It's bland and comfy, like a mall.
- n4r9 4y agoI guess the natural follow-up question is, are you surprised at efforts to avoid making the mainstream internet into "a Wild West were only the smart survive and you can buy drugs and guns if you know how"? Let's not forget we're talking about the most popular and easiest to access parts of the internet. There is still a wild west in the deeper, darker corners of the web. I don't think Zuckerberg enjoys having to police speech and behaviour and having to carefully design around that. It costs him time and money. More likely he does it for fear of losing money when the media reports on Facebook groups that spread hate, stir up racism, or share revenge porn.
