Does anyone think that the Fediverse would make a much better next phase for the web then all of this Metaverse bull? (lemm.ee)

I'd much rather see sites like Lemmy, PeerTube, and Mastodon see widespread adoption then the dystopian cyberpunk fever dream in the head of Zuckerburg. Did you not read the novel dude? It's a freaking warning! That's like Jeff Bezos reading Fahrenheit 451 and going "holy crap dude, gotta make that a reality like, yesterday!" I want the Fediverse, not the Metaverse! Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

I mean you'd be able to make as many as you want just that it would be compatible everywhere.

Yeah federated login would be a very interesting concept and I’m sure we will get there. The constant online profiling and fingerprinting always makes me paranoid. A single login following me to multiple sites is basically a more forward fingerprint. But I’m hoping for a federated internet where tracking will be kept at a minimal because there is less incentive too.
