Can everyone
please with a cherry on top stop referring to Meta's virtual worlds as "the Metaverse"?
They're called "Horizons"!Zuckerberg did not invent the Metaverse. Zuckerberg did not even invent the term; Neal Stephenson did in 1991. A Second Life in-world expo in the year 2007 was called "Metaverse". And the OpenSim community has been using the word "Metaverse" on a daily base down to grid names before 2010, too.
Thanks from someone who has been in OpenSim and thus known and used the term "Metaverse" in 2020 already in behalf of everyone in Second Life, OpenSim and all other virtual worlds that already existed before 2022.
P.S.: Second Life did not shut down in 2008 nor in 2009 either.
