   @matrix @kkarhan @blender This isn't a very good analogy. I think a much closer analogy would be looking at VRML in 1996 and concluding that it wouldn't be seeing mass interest, let alone adoption, on the web any time soon.

     @kkarhan @blender this is similar to saying that the Web should have stuck to static HTML, that JS and webapps are a disaster and that apps should be left to the desktop. You are missing the point that Matrix is & always has been a communication protocol; explicitly not just for chat. We don’t want to live in a world where Facebook owns communication in spatial apps like they have with WhatsApp, and that is why a tiny % of Element’s $ goes to supporting Third Room.

     @matrix That #Metaverse #bullshit is definitely not the kind you should waste your tiny funds on.

     I think that @blender would have more use for this tech but not a messenger system like yours.

     People explicitly chose #Matrix in order to not have to deah with #VR bullshit and screaming kids in discord.

     So I guess I'll stick with #IRC, #XMPP & #Zulip instead...

     Indescribably exciting to have just been the first ever(!) person to enter Matrix in VR, thanks to @thirdroomio@twitter.com's first cut of WebXR support. Add in freeform scripting via our WebSG API and built-in direct-manipulation scene editor, and the possibilities will be infinite!! ???
