Ask HN: How do you feel about Meta's name?
4 by readonthegoapp | 6 comments on Hacker News.
When I first heard the name, I thought, "Great for Facebook/Meta, bad for everyone/everything else." My thinking is that I do not want one of the most powerful companies in the world owning and/or controlling the metaverse, either in actuality or 'just' ideologically/brand-wise. I'm guessing folks don't care much because of one of the following reasons: - nothing we/they can do about it - there are still other, if less attractive, words for the metaverse (multiverse, etc.) - props to Zuck for doing the rename - it was a brilliant maneuver, there's nothing more to say about it. - the metaverse is not a thing yet, so nothing to worry about yet. - it's not ideal, but now facebook/meta will own the metaverse, good and bad, whether they want to or not - something else?
