J’aime, je n’aime pas. Roland Barthes, the French sociologist famously listed his likes and dislikes then discussed how pointless they are to anyone else.
He writes: “Here begins the intimidation of the body, which obliges others to endure me liberally, to remain silent and polite confronted by pleasures or rejections which they do not share.”
Some of mine.
I don’t like: crowds, emojis (but I gave in), finding dead mice in the library (even with garnish) …I like: lemons, cappuccino, croissant on Saturdays, moss en masse, peonies, lupin, clouds on a sunny day, rain that bounces off the ground, hiking in new snow, air so crisp you can see your breath, notes typed on a manual typewriter, fact checking, habaneros, midnight, black pencil doodles, plain text editors, Snøhetta designs, Amanda Gorman, Mini Coopers, cats, Khatia Buniatishvili at a piano, and 김진산 (Jinsan Kim) on acoustic guitar.

@haagch"Walled garden metaverse" sounds like an oxymoron. If it runs entirely on the servers of one company and has no public API or any way to interact with users from outside a proprietary ecosystem, then what's really "metaverse" about it?
Well, everyone and their dog believes that Zuckerberg's virtual worlds platform is officially named "The Metaverse". ("Metaverse" and "The Metaverse" are registered trademarks of Meta Platforms, Inc. All rights reserved.") And both mainstream media and tech media spew out the same non-sense. The only exceptions are tech media specialising in virtual worlds.
Also, as I've already written, Second Life started to officially refer to itself as a "metaverse" in 2022 as a "Hey, we're still here, too, and we're still relevant" publicity stunt. And Second Life has always been a commercial walled garden.
Its API is only public insofar as it was reverse-engineered from the source code of the official viewer after the latter was made open-source in 2006. And that's only a viewer API, a client API, that's used to develop third-party viewers. "Compatibility" with other virtual worlds? Well, there's OpenSim which was then built against the other side of the same API and the already existing third-party Second Life viewers and launched in 2007. But while it uses largely the same API and the same formats and the same standards, and while it's decentralised and federated within itself, it can't connect to Second Life. Even the 2008 "Six Lindens manage to teleport from Second Life to OpenSim" publicity stunt was bogus and faked.
I think I might write an article about the latter.

CW: An incomplete but quite representative list of metaverses; CW: long (over 2,500 characters), mild swearing, Meta/Facebook project mentioned
- "The Metaverse". Actually named Horizons. Get that into your heads, dammit. And yes, I'm talking about Meta's worlds.
- Cryptobros' attempted get-rich-quick schemes that imply that "the Metaverse" inevitably requires a blockchain, a cryptocurrency (usually either Dogecoin or Etherium or something running on Etherium's blockchain) and expensive NFTs for everything including land. Not seldomly buggy as hell because in-world experience doesn't earn the world owners any money.
- More or less failed attempts by other huge gigacorporations to launch their own monolithic walled garden metaverses for as many use-cases as imaginable. Failed because they came too late.
- The industrial metaverse which is still only a vague idea and probably another buzzword like "the cloud" and "the blockchain".
- Second Life which has slapped the term "metaverse" onto itself in 2022, trying to stay relevant in spite of stagnating user numbers and showing the world it's still around. This actually had even less of an effect than the comparisons between Horizons' simplistic avatars and Second Life's near-photo-realistic avatars and its 20th birthday PR campaign last year.
- Roblox, VRchat, Minecraft etc. They don't even need to refer to themselves as "metaverses" because they're so popular with kids that not much more publicity is necessary.
- OpenSimulator which is as decentralised as Decentraland implies to be but isn't. It has been using the term "metaverse" regularly since 2007, the year it was launched. But as it doesn't make a fuss about it, nobody outside its own community knows.
- ThirdRoom which was one of the first FLOSS virtual worlds to work in a standard Web browser rather than requiring a specialised client. Its future is unclear because all three devs are on an indefinite hiatus.
- Vircadia, a HighFidelity fork, and Overte, a Vircadia fork, both trying to build the decentralised next-generation open-source metaverses with some interesting ideas, but neither having a significant community, and both being every bit as obscure and unknown as OpenSim.
- The proposed decentralised, standardised, open metaverse for everyone. Which might not even come because the virtual worlds hype of 2020 is over for obvious reasons, and whoever else would be interested in it is probably busy in other virtual worlds already.

@Vijay Prema A large part of this is EU politics.
Meta wanted to harvest as many former Twitter users as possible, that's the reason why Threads exists.
The reason why Threads has implemented ActivityPub is mainly EU politics and EU laws. In America, IT corporations have free reign. But the EU requires at least newly-started online services to be interoperable with others, full stop, end of discussion.
When Threads was launched, it was completely banned in the EU. Totally inaccessible. You know when the ban was lifted? It was lifted when Threads started federating. Even with that little federation, Threads sufficiently fulfilled the requirements to operate in the EU. For now.
And why the Fediverse? Why ActivityPub? Because a) established with lots of users already, b) open standard with no license fees to pay, c) not controlled by another corporation, and d) they had heard of it.
I mean, they could just as well have implemented Bluesky's protocol, but Bluesky is corporate and doesn't want to federate with anything non-Bluesky. They could have implemented the Diaspora* protocol, but Diaspora* isn't interested in external federation either, so they'd have to crack and reverse-enginner Diaspora*'s inner workings just like Friendica did a dozen years ago. They could have implemented OStatus, but hardly anybody uses that anymore. They could have implemented Zot or Nomad, but they don't know that either exists, not to mention that they would have had to bow to the will of one individual protocol developer who would not let them one-sidedly meddle with his protocol against his will.
That's why ActivityPub.

@Alexandradal @eatyourglory @JoeA They can't completely redesign ActivityPub so that it becomes incompatible what we have now and then a) still call it ActivityPub and b) declare it the "official" version.
Meta doesn't own ActivityPub. If anyone owns ActivityPub, it's the W3C. Meta can neither buy ActivityPub from the W3C, nor can they buy out the W3C.
If Meta makes its own proprietary version of ActivityPub and implements it on Threads, then Threads becomes incompatible with the rest of the Fediverse. And the rest of the Fediverse will shrug it off, although I'm not so sure about Mastodon.
The very reason why Threads uses ActivityPub is because the EU demands interoperability between online platforms. ActivityPub was the easiest way for Meta to do that with Threads without implementing something owned by another corporation. It's all EU appeasement. If Threads becomes incompatible with the rest of the Fediverse, it becomes a centralised walled garden, and all the EU will ban Threads again.
