What's wrong with people who keep mentioning theymos as if he's some kind of god/world ruler? He's just an individual who administrates this forum.
Dude...He is not just "Some individual". Was the anonymous Dark Knight of Gotham just some individual? He was Bruce Wayne loved by Jim, Alfred and Selina.

I would love to see more of these "Just some individuals" try and play ring-keeper the way Theymos did during the Segwit debate on the forum as well as reddit. That was a time of great battles though. Now, Bitcoin is mainstream and the baton has been taken over by known faces like Jack and Saylor. There are Alt-chains everywhere and the forum doesn't need saving anymore.

Lighten up though. I am sure Theymos isn't gonna sue facebook. I heard the "Meta" news and it was the most surprising, yet laughable thing to happen. Zuck apparently handed a rough deal to the Winkelvoss brothers by stealing there idea to create facebook. Now he comes along and just steals another one of the ideas that, one could say, the twins helped nurture.

Also, as facebook's main platform has gone to obscurity, they have kept their relevance by being the surveillance eye (Whatsapp and Insta) for the powers that be. Now, they want to use a good idea, turn it on its head and make the metaverse centralized too. That shit is unbelievably ridiculous. Lets just see how much of it actually becomes successful. They sure have the money and the marketing machine.

By the way, I won't be surprised if you are trying to troll facebook, maybe?
I hope they do. Trademarks which are simple words such as “Meta” or “Apple” have an extenuation when it comes to suing for trademark infringement.

So can @theymos sue Facebook for violating the right on the name of our sub-forum. This is Meta right here.
It's not only our sub-forum, I guess. Apart from that, the word itself refers-

(of a creative work) referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential.
I don't think theymos has any right here to sue facebook. It's not a brand, nor something related to. By the way, I won't be surprised if you are trying to troll facebook, maybe? LOL. Otherwise, I don't see a reason why this thread has been created.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Most online forums have meta boards as well though. So can we encourage them (forum admin/owners/etc.) to sue facebook (I mean meta) as well?

There are more stories and drama here that facebook can ever re-create. On top of that, it is the original cypher-punks' drama and not some normie being enticed with 3D avatars, forced to wear the Occulus.

Sorry i don't yet have a reason to start a fight within the forum but still thought it appropriate to post this here.
