 Facebook's newer products, such as Threads, Metaverse, and other AR initiatives, are gradually losing user interest. However, they still have Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, not to mention ongoing privacy scandals. Is there a better alternative out there? I would not be shocked if users abandoned them in favor of something superior when alternatives come out.

 @425a31b8 To replace social media, we have alternatives, but what a lot of people don't know, we have amazing open source alternatives to AR also like WebXR, ThreeJS, etc. which runs directly on browsers. Yes, no app installation needed. You can make both AR & VR apps with these which work on all kinds of VR devices. These open source frameworks are just amazing! You can find some of the AR/VR Web-apps I have built in my portfolio 👉🏼 https://siddheshgunjal.github.io 
 @425a31b8 I’ve stopped using Twitter. I’m counting on Mastodon.
