Facebook’s rebrand to @Meta is awfully self-important. My feelings about the open metaverse aside, that they felt entitled to such a core word in the language really pisses me off. Now any time I open their apps the gall and tone-deafness smacks me in the face. Anyone else?

@snack_man @Meta I just logged into Facebook for the 2nd or 3rd time this year and legit got lost... felt like a bad dream where you are back in HS and the hallways keep getting longer.

@JaymesWestfall @Meta lol a metaverse designed like Facebook as we know it today might not be so different from a maze of high school hallways

@thesabdog @Meta I’ve just been opening Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp for the last couple weeks since the rebrand and it sticks in my craw every time

@HawkwardArt @Meta It was funny to me at first but now when I open Instagram and Facebook and see Meta it makes me want to close the apps.

@snack_man @Meta The rebrand is a corporate land grab before people are educated enough to understand how they can engage with the metaverse on their own. It’s never been more clear that FB’s core offering is access to your own identity.

@0xTAY_ @Meta I remember when I gave up keeping track of what I liked and started just checking my profile instead

@snack_man @Meta Saw it for the first time this morning and felt the same way. It is like branding a social network “internet”

@sygmod @Meta I was thinking about why Alphabet and Apple don’t bother me as much, think it’s that Meta is somehow inherently condescending

@snack_man @Meta it’s annoying but it’s pushed me to talk to my friends outside of this bubble about the metaverse and how there are Better Things and possibilities. The sooner I tell people the metaverse isn’t just Facebook and social media, the better they’ll understand Web3 and it’s benefits.
