Shall we evacuate Meta Horizon as well? CW: long (almost 1,200 characters)

Oh, and by the way, there's another Meta Platforms product that no-one's talking about: Horizon. It's what "The Metaverse" referred to in late 2021, early 2022. Remember?
There still seem to be a few thousand holding holding out there.
Interestingly, there's a free, open-source, decentralised "alternative" even for that:
OpenSimulator. Won't work on your Meta Quest, but you won't need one in the first place. You have
much more land to explore,
over four times as much as in Second Life even, and there's hardly any virtual world with cheaper land in combination with similar creative in-world possibilities.
It isn't part of the Fediverse, but it predates even Identi.ca, and its community has been regularly using the term "metaverse" since before Identi.ca.
Granted, the learning curve is enormous, it is very complex, and the new PBR-powered graphics come at the cost of basically requiring a machine with dedicated instead of on-board graphics hardware.
In a twist of fate, I happen to know someone who's in both, who could invite Horizon users over, hehe...
