They just joined the Fediverse as well at:

I’ve never played Roblox or Fortnite so I have no reference there. But The Mirror, while still Alpha, was lots of fun to try out and works just fine on Linux out of the box for me on Debian using the Itch Flatpak.

    Damn, they are funded by ‘Blockchain founders’, so it won’t take long before it’s just another crapcoin project. They seem heavily invested in just creating their own business and focusing the possibility of letting everybody trade with everybody else (same as in real life). I think they ‘embrace’ open source because they are property-fanatics, but are openly/actively promoting proprietary/property crap directly in their developer/game world. What happens with openness and free mobility for users when they start making money ? Are they gonna lock-in their users ?

    I’m interested in a free open source community where shit is free, nobody gets special threats, and everybody can participate without having to pull out their wallet, not a badly masked for profit sandbox. Their idea are inconsistent (bad property=biz, good property=private) and are already infected with coin crap, proprietary (non-federated) services from them (marketplace), a future conflict of interest between users/investors, and an archaic pro biz/capitalist attitude, I’m out…
