Remember Second LIfe

I think he's right that many people will always prefer the real world and won't be in virtual worlds... meta is betting on just about everyone joining in, which is fool hardy. As for SL's difficulty to use.... I'm honestly not sure how you can have a really easy interface while still allowing people to customize absolutely EVERYTHING...

 

[Trasee Darkwatch]

I agree. Most people won't be comfortable in the virtual space, and AR/VR is even more niche, I believe. Like 3D movies, it will be a "wow" thing for a couple of years, then it will trickle off. Even SL saw that boom then flow, as mentioned in the video. Due to their subscriber base, there might be more involved in their "meta"verse, but I don't think it will ever measure up to what SL offers, even with all of its flaws.

Considering they have announced enforced physical distancing already, its going to be pretty PG in that respect..... so yeah.

They are in a perfect Catch-22... "serious" businesses are expected to be PG, but all the money is in porn, and they have got to know that... lol.

Well, the reason given was there have already been harassment claims.

Yeah... and Meta has heavy expectations on them to be "family friendly" across all their aps... I don't think they have any chance of stealing adult users in SL to go to the PG metaverse, lol. ...hopefully they give SL more publicity by accident though...

 

[Madi Perth]

They don't even need to try to steal me. It will be a cold day in hell before I get sucked into another Suckerberg shit show.

But it's optional, right?!

The new feature is being turned on by default in the Horizon Worlds creation platform and the Horizon Venues live event service.

oh wait... I guess not:

Meta spokesperson Kristina Milian confirmed that users can’t choose to disable their personal boundaries since the system is intended to establish standard norms for how people interact in VR.

at least not for a while, if ever:

However, future changes could let people customize the size of the radius.

(from Meta is adding a ‘personal boundary’ to VR avatars to stop harassment)

I do, then I stopped caring, then someone who owned a grid created an account on it with my name to say I'm an asshole, so I went back to doing that again, then I came out as trans and changed my name and realized so much time has passed that if someone "stole" that name now most people who saw it would simply be like "han who?" and am back to not caring again period

It started with email addresses and instant messaging and chat rooms...

 

[Sid]

I never bothered to "protect" my SL name.
What I did find out: there are several Sid Nagy's in real life.
Thank the forces, I'm not one of them.

 

[WolfEyes]

For over a decade I was the only WolfEyes on the net. Now people from all over the world are trying to be me. I've been attacked for shit other people did many times.

Shows how stupid they are.... Just about any name with "wolf" in it will attract some duplication....

Can confirm, or a name with "blood" for that matter...though maybe less, now that vampires aren't as popular.

Oh heck yeah. I never tried any of the isometric-type VWs like Habbo or whatever; but...There, Blue Mars, IMVU, Active Worlds, Sine, any number of other places I'd explore and think like, "too bad this isn't as good as Second Life", maybe not 100% fairly. They were churning them out like crazy at one point. I wonder how many of them are still around.
