Facebook/Meta may be the first social networking empire to fall, but there were others that came before it.

I look forward to the day when we talk about Facebook in the same terms we now use for Friendster and MySpace.

It was a good idea, but got greedy and went from being a place to keep up with distant friends to a massive commercialised data harvester. Facebook is an arch-centraliser, and the Metaverse will be a far better place without it.
