We need a decentralized, general marketplace.
I would like a VR headset that is comparable in hardware and price to the Quest 3, that also isnt owned by ByteDance. Pretty much only two options; Meta’s Quest 3 or ByteDance’s Pico 4. 😞
I am not into VR stuff but is the VR headset made by Valve not good?
It’s okay now. It’s not the highest fidelity you could get, it’s rather expensive, and it has to be tethered to a PC. The Quest and the Pico are half the price of the Index, have better quality displays, lighter headsets, and can run wirelessly without the need for a PC or tracking base stations.
When it was new? Hell yeah, I would have spent a little more to get an Index. They were the best at one point.
It’s definitely dated and much more expensive for that older hardware. And that’s only in the US. If you live outside of the US, grey market import only and way more expensive.

My guess is the writers are here among us and don’t want it to become a cesspool. It’s their safe haven. Just a guess though.
If we’re strictly speaking about “Meta alternatives” that means we’re looking specifically for replacements for Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Threads. “Just don’t have Facebook”, Signal, Pixelfed and Mastodon/Bluesky are direct replacements for those. Lemmy is a Reddit replacement which doesn’t have anything to do with Mark “I am actually a lizard” Zuckerberg.

I mean come on, we’ve got weird uncles with questionable perspectives.
Maybe this will actually make you ever so slightly less valuable to meta in the short term (presuming they honor your choices for these settings), but they’re still going to continue harvesting your data and can change their minds at any point in the future. Only way to truly become less valuable is to disappear from their gaze.
Or only post nonsense and AI slop.
Maybe I’m blind but I don’t see a Meta alternatives section.
