The Metaverse in the Fediverse
Anyone on Mastodon already? Or elsewhere in the Fediverse? I know some of you are, I've already got almost two dozen contacts from OpenSim. Mal Burns is already there, the maker of Inworld Review, as are Austin Tate a.k.a. Ai Austin, the maintainer of Ruth2 and Roth2 with a separate account for his avatar, and vrsimility who rebuilds Liverpool's Old Dock in OpenSim (in case you've seen it at OSCC21), just to name a few.
If you consider the switch from the Birdsite to the Fediverse, or if you generally want to dive into free and decentral social networking, I've got good news for you:
There is now a Mastodon instance for OpenSim users: https://opensim.world/
In spite of its name, I don't think it's that affiliated with OSW, maybe not yet. It comes from Quintonia, you know, who brought you the Satyr Farm enhancements.
So this may be a better place for you to go than the big and overloaded instances if you're an OpenSim user.
Anyway, whether you're already there or interested in joining, see you soon!

Tuvalu will re-emerge in the Metaverse...
https://mashable.com/article/tuvalu-metaverse-country-clim...
Anyone else thinking this could be a use case for OpenSim? A Tuvalu Grid?
Tuvalu is 9 islands with 10 square kilometres altogether. In raw land mass, that'd be 10 4x4 varsims which is almost laughable. Even if you remap this to Tuvalu's actual topography, that'd be not only still considerably smaller than Wolf Territories, but mostly sailable water.
In fact, this begs for SFsail. Also, lots of tropical beaches = potential surf spots. Nothing that hasn't been done before.
Not to mention that OpenSim has vastly better graphics than everything else that labels itself "metaverse" nowadays.
I guess most other in-world assets such as buildings would be scratch-made, although creators like Bibiana Bombinante could provide some decoration.
