Thanks! I'll take anti-billionaire schadenfreude wherever I can get it.

@tanquist Heheh, not even vast amounts of money can save a bad idea. I'll give Zuckerberg credit for being persistent, but it looks like he's trying to create customer demand where there are none.

I tried "Second Life" back in the day and it got boring after a few days.

Ha ha! My Second Life experiment was short-lived as well. I gave up after one try. My avatar was wearing only underwear briefs and I was trying to pick out clothes when my husband asked, "Did you know you're standing outside and everyone's staring at you?"

@tanquist 😂😂 I don't that remember much from my experience, but I do remember that the danish IRS created an office inside SL and then you could go ask tax questions.

No one seemed to want to do that because the building was always empty 😆
