The Metaverse could've been a platform free of AI, offering a protected version of the Internet for people to be themselves. It's kinda where we may be headed anyway. Instead we got this...

Facebook was always destined to be shit.

What we need is Tom to come back and just boot up the only MySpace servers and we can do a hard reset to the part 20 years or so.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Fuck MySpace. Let's go back to webrings.

Don't go that far. Do you know how long it takes to download porn at 2400 baud?

[-] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 1 day ago

Guess you’re stuck reading erotic stories.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Probably where I got my penchant for them.

You ever see an old one and just think, I look at this in 1993…

I think I had a fondness for Freewheeling Barbara Toys With Boys. But I can't really say my tastes haven't changed.

Back before it died, I liked asstr.org. There were a lot of old classics there.

Webrings still exist.

The metaverse predates Facebook's interest in it.

[-] zo0@programming.dev 21 points 2 days ago

Lol, lmao even
Sorry but that is a very misinformed idea of what Metaverse was, and was supposed to be

Don't '?' me, what you said is simply false, there is no correction or arguement to be had.

Niw there's a name I haven't heard in a very long time. Is it still actually going?

[-] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

No idea. I don't think I've logged in in over 10 years, if not more.

[-] Dojan@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago

Or Resonite even.
