A Beautiful Poster, and an Uncomfortable Reality

I recently saw a beautiful promotional message describing Alternate Metaverse as a place of family, community, friendship, belonging and acceptance. It is a beautiful message, and for a long time I genuinely believed in that idea too.

I spent a considerable amount of time in AMV. I was not simply a visitor passing through. I gave my time, creativity, energy and commitment. I worked as staff, supported people, built, contributed ideas and genuinely believed that I was part of a community. There were many wonderful moments, lovely people and experiences that I will never deny or forget. But my experience also had another side, one that eventually left me disappointed and hurt.

Recently, I responded to a public message about how wonderful AMV is, simply by saying that my own experience had been different. I did not insult anyone, attack anyone or use abusive language. I simply shared my honest personal experience. My comment was removed, and shortly afterwards the comments were locked. And honestly, I had to laugh.

Because sometimes you do not need to say anything more. A community can speak about family, belonging, friendship and acceptance, but those words mean very little if only positive experiences are allowed to exist publicly. When praise is welcome, but someone respectfully saying, “my experience was different,” is removed, that is not openness. That is controlling the narrative.

I am not interested in creating drama or convincing anyone to dislike AMV. Some people may genuinely love it there, and I sincerely hope they continue to have a positive experience. Everyone is entitled to their own experience, and this was mine. I will not rewrite my history simply because honesty makes people uncomfortable.

I know what I experienced, I know what I gave, and I know why I eventually walked away. A beautiful welcome sign is easy to create. Creating a place where people are genuinely allowed to speak honestly, even when their truth is uncomfortable, is something else entirely.

My experience. My truth. My story

Really a GRID unlike any other, spent many years between different grids, and the experience I have had in AMV has overall been amazing, which made me want to stay and be a part of it all, do come explore and check it out, it is really worth a visit, if you are looking for a new home give AMV a chance, come in with a fresh perspective!

When it comes to details Fred and Deb's Virunga leaves nothing to the imagination. I come by to leave a note or gift for Deb in her mailbox at Rosamond Halsey Carr house. Rosamond Halsey Carr (1912-2006) had a flower ranch in Rwanda,. After the genocide of Hutus by Tutsi, when 8 people were killed in her gardens, she turned her flower sheds in the Imbabazi Orphanage. She was 84.

Since that time Roz and her staff have cared for more than 400 children. Since Roz's passing in 2006, the orphanage is under the direction of Partners in Conservation and currently cares for more than 100 orphans.

Roz also wrote the book "Land of a Thousand Hills: My Life in Rwanda," with her niece, Ann Howard Halsey, chronicling her love affair with one of the world's most beautiful and tormented regions. She is also the 2004 recipient of the Volvo for Life Award.

Always Evolving

Many more ideas are still hidden away in the mind of Mike Fleetwood, waiting to be brought to life.

Fleetwood Beach is therefore not a finished project, but a region that is constantly evolving. New buildings, technical gadgets, vehicles, interactive systems and unusual attractions are gradually being created and integrated into the world of Fleetwood Beach.

That is why a visit is always worthwhile. Those who return later will often discover new details, try out new features or experience areas that did not even exist during their previous visit.

Fleetwood Beach is always changing – and there is always something new to discover and try out.

The Fleetwood Beach Promenade

The Fleetwood Beach Promenade invites visitors to explore the region at a relaxed pace and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the sim.

Along the promenade, visitors will discover various buildings, small plazas, technical installations and decorative elements that shape the distinctive character of Fleetwood Beach. Industrial details, Steampunk architecture and maritime influences come together to create a varied and atmospheric route through the region.

The promenade is more than just a connection between different areas. It is also a place to stop, observe and discover. Along the way, new views open up across the surroundings, the attractions and the coastal areas of Fleetwood Beach.

For those who prefer to explore without rushing, the promenade is an ideal place for a leisurely walk, with many small details to discover that can easily be missed from a distance.

Take a stroll, look around and discover Fleetwood Beach step by step.
