    It is about Facebook. Facebook makes the Meta Quest. It’s a Facebook product. Just like Threads, Instagram, and WhatsApp are. And those Meta glasses that are ugly AF.

      Officially it is Meta. Facebook is owned by Meta but the Quest headset is not a Facebook product. I get it, it’s easier to say Facebook for everything owned by Zuk, like saying Google for Youtube instead of Alphabet.

      But it is not precise nor true and plenty of comments here are saying “just leave Facebook” while OP did not post about Facebook nor having a social media account there.

      And TBH, I think all VR headset are kinda ugly, it’s either big rectangle brick on your head or big round brick on your head.

        This is super silly. They changed the technical arrangements of the company names, meta is still Facebook

        Facebook is meta, nitpicking this point is absurd

        Edit: I’d like to add that obfuscating Facebook/zucc from other products is literally the point of the rebranding and OP is suffering from exactly that, making whoever’s point im arguing with even more dangerous and dumb

          It’s not silly at all. There’s a practical reason why they changed their name. Facebook is one of many products from the company. Facebook is Meta but Meta is not Facebook.

            The “practical reason” is to distance themselves from the rep they’ve earned as slop-pushing privacy-invading child-abusing culture-destroying ghouls. Why would you go along with that?

              I mean, that would make sense if it actually achieved that. But it doesn’t, because that describes all of their products.

        I believe they were talking about meta’s literal smart glasses being ugly, not their VR headsets. They look really silly, the frame is way too thick.

        I actually think the Quests are some of the better looking headsets.

        I think it’s pretty heavily implied that people are talking about a given tech giant’s entire ecosystem when they say de-google, delete Facebook, Fuck Nestle- I mean, fuck Apple, etc. lol
