Philip Rosedale, the founding CEO of Linden Lab (the makers of popular virtual world Second Life) and the CEO of High Fidelity, is on Mastodon!
You can find him here: "@ lincolnDuncan@sfba.social" (*without* the space in between!). Here's a direct link to Philip's profile: sfba.social/@lincolnDuncan. #SecondLife #VirtualWorlds #metaverse
Loving the way you present it by the means of #Thirdroom itself with presentation overlay and explain that the only server needed is #Matrix! 
That aside, I just hope it'll show more than repurposing Thirdroom for meetings in the future, because no amount of simulated physics and emopacks can supercede human interaction.

I especially like what Tyler recently said about #metaverse: odysee.com/@thelinuxcast:4/euf…
*Revisiting* more places is what'll make it more selling to me.

If you have good intentions, but help build the #Metaverse, then you are like a small butterfly in a huge field of industrial farming, where the ground is dead by pesticides and fertilizer amply sprayed on the land.
I do not agree on your take wrt #Gamification, though how you describe it has become how many people have come to see it, knowing it from many ways in which it has been abused.

The #Hyperreality video is one I have much shared. It's superb in demonstrating the dystopia we wanna avoid having at all cost. The #Metaverse is a cold, lifeless, technocratic vision that has very little #humanity to it. And that is no wonder, as it has the tech giants behind it that long ago stopped seeing us as people, but merely small revenue generators. To be milked as cattle.

My personal #vision is to work towards a #Peopleverse. This concept has nothing at all to do with #Metaverse, and likeness is coincidental. The Peopleverse is the human stratum on top of the #Fediverse that enriches our life with online technology and connects us to our fellow human beings, wherever they are.

Jumana Abu-Ghazaleh of Pivot for Humanity shared an article critical of #Metaverse in our #HumaneTechnology linkedin group.
With it the comment that "The Metaverse is basically a #MMORPG , albeit one that just…doesn’t…end". I agree with the article, though have a more nuanced take on the role of #gamification as described there.

"... take today’s social media, add a splash of sophisticated 3D, fold in a plethora of options for entertainment and gaming, garnish it all with data-driven personalization, and you are all set to take away your order of a supersized social media network, the Metaverse."

... but wait there is more coming at @FOSDEM@twitter.com about the #metaverse tomorrow!🤩
Guess what though : it is NOT about how a single centralized #surveillanceCapitalism ad-driven corporation is going to entrap us.
No, instead it is about how WE can build a better society together!🫂 twitter.com/matrixdotorg/statu…
