Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

I'm kinda disappointed how Hacker News derailed into a mob mentality towards the metaverse concept because big evil Facebook touched it. I, for one, celebrate the new age beyond text and (sometimes moving) pictures and can't wait to move into (shared) experiences. I've seen this internet since 1989: I'm ready for something radically new. I don't care if it's Facebook running point. Sure, I'd rather have it be a cool start-up, but they are all chasing their tails to become unicorns these days. I was there when Second Life peaked and the potential of experience-based communication (instead of just information based) is incredible. I can't wait for Facebook to raise the bar on that, like they did with VR.
