@NeybulotYou know, I really don't understand the appeal for #SecondLife these days?
What am I missing? For me it runs like crap, everything on it looks old as hell, and so much of it requires monetary transactions. I also feel like I see a lot of furries using it to just do yiff clubs or whatever too.
At least with VRChat it runs moderately well (especially so outside of VR) and has lots of different activities that you can do inside of it thanks to Udon. Plus actually being in VR feels way more personal and connective I guess.
@Neybulot I for one am put off by the stupid reputation system VRC has that forces you to have to wait and/or build up connections before you can start uploading your own custom avatars.
They are also extremely banhappy of users with third party clients. You're only allowed to use the first party client with the features THEY want you to have. You don't get anything else.
@Neybulot@pawb.fun@dragonarchitect This is fair on the first party thing, but there's also been people developing third party applications specifically to crash those on first party so I can kind of understand that too.
It's a shame there's no happy middle between Neos and VRC. Maybe this is why people still pursue Second Life.
@Neybulot People develop malicious third party clients for second life as well. It's not unique to VRC.
@Neybulot Hell, in Second Life people can easily develop malicious scripts to crash or hang whole servers.
@Neybulot@dragonarchitect You're not exactly making a good point for third-party clients to be a thing. 
If anything, VRChat just needs to be more extendable so you can just add more to the first-party client itself. Hopefully someone can get that through to their skulls.
@Neybulot I can guarantee you that's not going to happen considering how much uproar and protest it took for them to start giving a fuck about accessibility on their platform after they banned modded & 3rd p clients.
It's the same level of corporate "WE know what the users want" attitude that Discord has and I'm honestly not here for it.
I'll change my tune when VRC does. I get experiences with Second Life that I can't with VRC and that's my line in the sand.
