   I understand why #Instagram threatened #Pixelfed but I question the timing. I would not be surprised if #Facebook tries to delay the launch of @pixelfed upon #Apple & #Google Play app stores, respectively.

   @dansup response did remind me of Captain Holden from #TheExpanse (yes, I love #SciFi shows!).

     @denspier @pixelfed @dansup ? It's simple. Instagram is apart of the Metaverse and many people are seeking out options away from it.

     @darnell @pixelfed @dansup what do you mean by “escorting Instagram refugees away from the metaverse”? Whatever Zuckerberg may claim, “the metaverse” by definition is the opposite to monopoly platform monocultures.

     @denspier @pixelfed @dansup The phrase Metaverse is already trademarked, so I am not worried about #Facebook “stealing it.”

     ?? https://trademarks.justia.com/744/50/metaverse-74450649.html

     It's OK to call #Meta’s products (#Instagram, #WhatsApp, & Facebook) #Metaverse.

     @darnell @pixelfed @dansup Instagram and Facebook are part of Meta, not “the metaverse”, that term was defined and in use long before Zuckerberg started using it. The term “metaverse” is worth fighting for, we cannot and should not grant him exclusiveness to it. If Zuckerberg names a company “Fedi” he shouldn’t be able to claim “fediverse” as his. Language and terminology matters.

     @darnell @pixelfed @dansup trademarked for a game. Legit. Regardless we don’t have to give Facebook exclusiveness to the term. In the metaverse one can by definition move seamlessly between systems, sites, apps, worlds and whatnot. It’s the exact opposite of a corporate monoculture like Zuckerberg’s. No offense (loved the article) I just resent that lose “metaverse” to bloody Facebook.

     @denspier @pixelfed @dansup Maybe I will refer to it as the Zuckverse instead. ?
