OpenSim used the term "Metaverse" long before Zuckerberg, here's finally proof; CW: long (over 850 characters), Zuckerberg mentioned

View summary
Something for those who think Mark Zuckerberg has invented the term "Metaverse" in 2021.
OSgrid
, the oldest
OpenSimulator
grid (est. 2007), is referring to itself as "The Open Source Metaverse". Guess what? It has taken over that slogan from OpenSim itself, and
OpenSim has described itself as such in 2007 already
.
Metropolis, the first German grid (est. 2008), boldly used the full name "Metropolis Metaversum" until it was officially shut down in summer 2022.
It already did so as early as 2008
.
Since I started out in Metropolis on April 30th, 2020, I was in something called Metaverse almost a year and a half before Zuckerberg used that term.
Another fun fact: The virtual worlds/virtual reality news site
Hypergrid Business
has named its OpenSim category "
Metaverse
" as early as 2010.
