Can the #ActivityPub standard be used to create a distributed social graph within the open Metaverse?
I unpack the @ImmersSpace implementation with @Datatitian & @gabrieljbaker & I'll be digging into @bluesky's AT Protocol a bit more in the next episode:

Chessboxing is the world’s first metaverse-spanning game... all of this is accomplished without the use of blockchain or NFTs... by avoiding the costs inherent in using cryptocurrencies, Immers Space seeks to make the metaverse open and accessible to all.

Welcome to the metaverse, FrameVR users! With federated identity and cross-platform friends lists, it's clear the #ActivityPub Open Web standard from @SocialWebWG is the fastest path to an Open Metaverse. Add it to your project with our FOSS Immers Server github.com/immers-space/imme…
Frame Connections! This is a massive addition to Frame, letting you "connect" with others and then see if they are online and jump right to them no matter what Frame they are in. Powered by @ImmersSpace and crafted w/ 💙 by @Datatitian and others.

A large new study shows that if you get Covid - even a mild case - you have a significantly greater risk of developing diabetes. This may be a new subtype of #longcovid: new cardiometabolic conditions. My latest: wsj.com/articles/new-researc… via @WSJ

We can't wait to show you what we're building with @ImmersSpace. Social stickiness, webs of connectivity, even enterprise communication features - right inside Frame.

What does it mean to be a #PlatformCoop? It means we answer to our community of immersers and #WebXR creators; not investors. And this isn't just a platitude, members have rights in our bylaws. Let's make the #metaverse democratic. Join the co-op today: opencollective.com/immers-sp…

nate silver's Very Bad Tweet perfectly reveals how the school reopening moral panic has worked: people say "we have to do cost-benefit analysis on covid mitigations," which sounds very reasonable, and then they say "okay, let's assume the cost of school closures is infinity"

The discussions swelling up about the metaverse have a renewed sense of urgency + potency. Unresolved questions won't stop us from taking a stand w/ open standards. In our next release, we will start w/ identity via @ImmersSpace + linking to @MozillaHubs sites in our nav menu.

Etiquette wearing smart #AR glasses
Rule II: Wear only in the appropriate places
If in doubt, do a simple test: Think how you would feel if someone pulled out their phone and started recording around, including you. If you would feel uncomfortable, better keep your glasses off

A majority of both Republicans and Democrats support a billionaire tax (see: filesforprogress.org/dataset…).
Wouldn’t it be cool to have an actual democracy
