The notion of "metaverses" is a fine idea, and we've had great implementations of these for years, decades even.

Meanwhile, Facebook's notion of "The Metaverse" is downright dystopian, and I'm happy that it's proving to be a demoralizing money pit.

The worst part is that it feels that most Metaverse things are a poor copy-paste of a French project "Le Deuxième Monde"

It wouldn't be an issue if it wouldn't look like we were still in 1997 (and Meta's Metaverse isn't the greatest piece of software either).
