The last thing I can think of that I really like about SL is in the forums, how @Luna Bliss @Leora Greenwood @Marigold Devin and @Persephone Emerald always cheer me up. I also enjoy @Love Zhaoying's jokes, if only he would only learn how to joke properly and not the way I do. And, of course, thanks to my husband @BillFletcher for introducing me to this insanity where I fit right in.

You are very kind, thank you.

They've got an incredibly rare and very welcome liberal attitude towards content which is probably the reason their platform is still with us. Their approach limits their commercial appeal massively and undoubtedly there has been a lot of pressure to be more restrictive to appease investors, advertisers etc. This is an approach that has not been taken and to their credit this is undoubtedly the correct decision as far as keeping SL going.

I really appreciated this call out. Thank you so much. 💓

After coming back to SL from a long break, I'm very pleased to see that LL has continued to improve the graphics and add features. Nothing is perfect, but I am very happy to see that this is still such a thriving community.

For me, it's the people. I've met my fair share of idiots on the grid but the majority of people I meet are a lot of fun. For the LL part it's the dedication. We're 20 years in and while they don't always make great choices they're still on top of moving forward.

There is a lot I like about Second Life of course. Why else would I have been here since 2007? One thing is particular that i value though is the fact that never ever have I bought something inworld and then  found an add in my social media about it. That is something to value today when all our online activities are sold on to other companies.

They gave me a place to find my tribe….

I've filed an Abuse Report against myself. I confess to posting an outright lie and it needs to be stricken from the record. Saying that you joke the same way as I do was a malevolent insult and I do apologize and pray tell it didn't cause unbearable mental anguish. I will be truthful, more or less, from now on, with no further bald faced lies and will continue to enjoy your jokes and laugh my butt off with every one. May the jury have mercy.

edit. He said a neon green ankle monitor would be frivolous

Personally, I think this is a good outlook to have in life as well.

That google map is dated April 2022.  The lights are off in the building. Sansar was sold and should not be using that address. The handicap sign is for an entrance to another business LightStep on Green St.  SL is almost entirely remote workers now.   The SL flag is missing.  Only flag out on the building is for LightStep.

Not sure why LL keeps the lease to part of that building, considering SF business rents.  I heard some of the few LL locals have a conference meetings there.  I don't think LL employees actually work there anymore, unless that has changed this year.

The LL Atlanta GA suburbia location for SL seems to be more used now.  Cheaper too, and more real trees.

Corrected LightSpeed to LightStep

I've met some absolutely awesome people in SL. I have had so much fun, laughed so much that I cried, I love the creativity of it, the freedom of being anything that you want (within TOS of course), so many things to do and see, it's amazing.

Honestly, it's like people are doxxing LL!

[cirleen]

It's not doxxing, it's disinformation. The main lab for Linden Labs is concealed underground in Antarctica where there's a paper sign taped in the window that says "Linden Labs." Wipe the snow off your goggles and you'll see it. The other labs, those dark side moonbases, is where they cohort with good aliens, like the ones at Area 51, not like those ones in the Caribbean who wave their tentacles around and spread alien conspiracy theories. That's another good thing about Linden Labs. They don't use an alien agenda and their crop circles are well designed and more intricate.

You're on to something Cirleen.

Read and watch carefully, I will only post this once.
I checked a photo I took from the gates of Area 51, a place that  I don't know, never visited and where I never met strange looking people or saw weird vehicles.

 

There is a chance that special forces, whom I don't know either, will remove this post soon, so read quick and memorize it's content immediately.

I never took that picture. I didn't even post that post. I wasn't even here today. Still ain't.

I  think we sing about that in church!

"As it wasn't in the beginning,

It has never been and never shall be!

No world at all.

Hey, man!"

That's another thing I love about SL, SL DJ's play that song every day. But it's not a church song, that's a Rastafarian song, it ends with "Don't worry, be happy." The idea was inspired by sleeping on a rock.

Sleeping on a square pillow would be far more comfortable.

I'm just adding that in April 2022 many employees were probably working remotely, and we don't know what day of the week or what time of the day those pictures were taken. Judging from the sparse traffic and few people on the street, it was probably not at the height of normal business hours.

SL is arguably the best, and longest surviving 3d virtual world. It's not perfect, but it's run well as evidenced by its survival. Hopefully it will last for a long time. SL is likely to become health therapy for the aging generation that grew up with it. I think Linden Lab's Battery Street building in San Francisco is a valid & historic tourist destination, even just to walk by the building. They don't let anyone in the secret room at Mount Rushmore, so what's the difference? Would you rather go hiking in the woods in South Dakota or shopping in San Francisco? SL is a futuristic trendsetter and there is no Second Life monument yet, so I think it's a valid shopping, I mean tourist destination. I really enjoyed visiting there and it's something I like about SL.
