Firstly, you can choose an instance that doesn’t federate with them. Everyone can choose for themselves. And second you didn’t read it probably, they’re testing it and there a handful of accounts that have activity pub enabled. That certainly doesn’t make them the biggest presence.
There’s a large number of people here that have a deeply emotional hatred for anything related to Meta and I get that. But these dull comments don’t make for a fun discussion. They don’t add anything. They won’t affect anything. They’re just boring comments wasting everyone’s time.
It’s great that everyone is able to choose for themselves
It’s a bit different:
The new For You feed now won’t just showcase a range of popular, but diverse, accounts, but will customize its suggestions based on the user’s own “friends of friends” network. That means the content from public accounts that friends of friends follow will be surfaced in the new For You feed. - Techcrunch
The meta store is alright for VR games, but quite terrible for anything that’s not a game. And chasing the VP probably means very little VR games (and hand tracking only), so I’d be looking for non-gaming apps that run in VR. And there’s basically nothing out there, Apple will probably have the biggest one due to their iOS/iPadOS ports.
I feel like software is the biggest issue - there isn’t (yet?) a google play store for Apps that can be used in VR and with even the best hardware, it’s no good if there’s nothing you can do with it.
For sure their current products aren’t working as well as they were hoping, otherwise they wouldn’t change course.
I might be wrong, but I don’t feel like chasing after the Vision Pro will lead to huge success. The VP will have a huge library of iOS/iPadOS Apps as well as a developer community and ecosystem integrations. That and what sounds like impressive tech that may not be easy to reproduce. I don’t see it working out for them.
Well, I don’t think I’m the one who has to get over something, but sure. Thanks for the kind words.
