   could the #Fediverse become a #metaverse?

     @travisfw for some, it already is...

     I know you probably mean a 3D interactive world, which is also probably possible, but there's a lot of people that just stay online here almost 24/7.

     I'm sometimes one of those people. I love it here and would definitely check out a federated 3D interactable world if it had features that connected to Fedi proper.

     Not sure about everything that could be possible, but personally, I'd *at least* want to use my own username and domain combination like Fedi proper.

     @BeAware Sounds good.

     The interesting part of a #metaverse to me is how to share live experiences, and for sure, Fedi is doing that to some degree.

     I can imagine Fedi slowly morphing into something more immersive. EG broadly supporting live streams and p2p bi-directional sockets; engaging with the capabilities of multiple instances through a common visual paradigm; avatars becoming more engaging than little images…

     @travisfw ah...that sounds cool.

     Live streams are already a thing, obviously, but I just don't think Fedi is big enough for those to gain much traction yet.

     Also, there needs to be a built-in monetization solution. Big events won't stream on Fedi if there's no way to monetize it. Big events are funded mostly by sponsorships, but with Fedi still being small, the bigger sponsors either don't know about Fedi, or don't see it as a good way to put their brand out there.

     Its more than likely the former, but if it's the latter, I wouldn't be surprised given that Fedi seems to be completely against ads, sponsorships, monetization, etc.😬

     Things like avatars being more than just an image, are there specific things you had in mind? I'm just not thinking of anything that could be done with them...🤔
