To add to the confusion: A Meta account is not a Facebook account. Meta accounts are specifically to get access to Meta's metaverse. So basically it's a newer version of the old Oculus accounts.
For Facebook you still need a separate Facebook account.
- throwaway5959 4y agoI’m OK with that. Separation means I can dump either at any time.
- the_af 4y agoI'm ok with the separation too, I don't see what my gaming device has to do with my social media [1], but what annoys me is the lack of clarity: Facebook, vs Meta vs Oculus, which is which and what is being forcibly upgraded and why? I mean, I can find out by reading their docs and press releases or whatnot, but why should I? If it's mandatory, just make the process automatic, with no guesswork on my part. [1] it's bad enough that many of my facebook hobby groups are public, and therefore every comment I make in one of them is likely to get spammed to my family, friends and coworkers who have zero interest in my hobbies or what I have to say about them. Imagine if HN and facebook were linked, and every comment I made here was spammed to my mum's fb feed.
- GauntletWizard 4y agoI wish it had come before I had to dump my old Oculus account to dump my Facebook account. I will not miss the ~$100 that those games cost me, but I will miss not having the continuity of memory they represented.
