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?

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.

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

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.

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.
