So there is that but what we found was many new recruits to the Adult Metaverse expressed an interest in learning about Opensim worlds when asked if they were 18+ and if they were familiar with Opensim.
NIRAN BLACK DRAGON PC
The system is powerful and not limited by the computing power and connection of a home PC so the way I see it is, what's not to like?Īs I mentioned above I did notice how quickly The Adult Metaverse in MeWe was growing which is not surprising really given that MeWe's very relaxed policy on adult material is encouraging some quite explicit material which, admittedly, if you don't want to see it, can at least be blurred out. Groups are easy to set up at no cost so no group server is required. It is not decentralized like Diaspora but there is a degree of central control to block violent extremists and criminals, which is a good thing.
NIRAN BLACK DRAGON FREE
Moreover, the owners setup MeWe with the expressed promise they wont sell user data like Facebook does and they respect free speech. I think MeWe is very likely now to become the preferred social media for Opensim simply because it looks good, works well and has useful features including chat. So far the list includes the "Ruth & Roth 2.0 an OpenSim Mesh Avatar Project", Nara Malone's "Metaverse Authors", Lecktor Hannibal's "Infiniti Grid", Leighton Marjoram's "HG Traveller Opensimulator", Wayfinder Wishbringer's "Elf Clan", Fred Beckhusen's "Opensimulator DreamWorld and DreamGrid" and the list goes on - like 23 groups I counted so far. I have since also joined the Minds social media and I will come to that shortly but I have to say MeWe is now front runner and other G+ groups have followed us there which is probably helping the growth in membership too as the whole community expands.

I joined with Nara Malone and we now run the Adult Metaverse group too and that is actually growing even faster with over 200 members already at the time of writing. I promoted it on G+ while I can of course but I didn't just leave it at that. That group has taken off quickly and now has well over a 100 members after just week or so.

I really did like the layout and the features so I registered there too and formed a group for Opensim Virtual easily and quickly at no cost. I also found that the iSurf community was rather geekish and the display Twitter-like so I moved on to MeWe which was recommended to me and I have to say right away I was quite impressed.
NIRAN BLACK DRAGON PLUS
They rely on donations to operate but none have the speed, polish or the millions of users that Google Plus has so I consider it as one to watch but not ideal presently. Personally, whereas I like the fact Diaspora is decentralized and members can be part of a federation, I didn't particularly think much of the client projects or that the servers are dependent on a network of enthusiasts which I thought rather limits them. Well, that is what we are being told by the mainstream media which, of course, just happens to be owned by the giant tech companies and a handful of billionaires too.Īnyway, I registered on the Social iSurf server running Friendica and found other familiar names from the Opensim community were posting so there is certainly interest and one member was talking about setting up a server to run a node for the community.

So, while the big tech giants take it upon themselves to censor politically unacceptable views and hate speech, the smaller fringe tech companies and groups are highly exposed to extremists that exploit the decentralized networks. This is the kind of thing that the corporate media giants like Facebook and Twitter are now starting to block centrally and will do so more and more as they broaden their definition of what constitutes unacceptable content. This is very appealing to those that value freedom of speech but has lead to problems where extremists like Islamic State and criminals have used the media to distribute propaganda, communicate with their followers and to radicalise and recruit. The important thing to understand is that no one server in the network controls all the data so only a local owner or manager can block content. The Federation protocol is how Diaspora servers (and other servers supporting this protocol) talk to each other. Diaspora consists of a group of independently owned nodes (called pods) which interoperate to form a network served via a number of clients including Mastodon, Friendica and others. Some take the view that MeWe is just another corporate-run social media and would rather develop a community on the Diaspora network which is open source and decentralized. MeWe has so far proved quite popular with the Opensim community but not everyone.
