@rikupone @jasoncitron @packyM @mariogabriele @discord ^^ Keep Discord based around friends and community. If you were actually understanding and read our “perspectives,” you’d have also read your own feedback site and understood that *a lot* of users do not want this “Web3” integration. So Jason: please just drop this.

@MetaQuestVR @ItsODRJR This is a trash name change. Years of establishing a good brand name and subsequent recognition down the drain for what? Just to associate it with Meta, a company in which a lot of my generation hates for various reasons (including the cesspool that is Facebook).

I have so much to say about this but I'm not sure I should. All I will say is: I'm certain Ian is happier without the association with James. No further comment to add at this time.

@MetaQuestVR @ItsODRJR Haven't seen a lot of folks into this change either. That sucks, because Oculus was one of the most recognizable brand names synonymous with good. Now it's associated itself with a PR disaster. :(

To be fully transparent his brother Ian & I shared a few connections at one point, now we only share a couple & my understanding is that even those folks don't speak to him often. We've never spoken directly, tho if he did enough asking around, he could get my info fairly easily.
