An avatar named “Anonym” in a black long-sleeved shirt stood in the middle of the dance floor.
When I entered, there was barely anyone there. According to Google, the club was temporarily closed, but in the metaverse, it was still open, although there were no events or performances going on when I stopped by. Once I got in, my first stop was Amnesia Ibiza, the metaverse iteration of a club in Spain. Despite what people say about the egalitarianism of these online spaces, if someone with a relatively new MacBook Pro couldn’t log in, it seems that Decentraland, at least, caters to people with advanced computers and tech - not someone idly wandering in, hoping to take a look around. I switched browsers a few times to no effect, then restarted my computer. After logging in, my browser screen would turn black and unresponsive, and the space took a long time to load. But getting in wasn’t so straightforward. If I was going to find a party, it would almost certainly be here.
My first stop was Decentraland, one of the largest and busiest virtual spaces in the metaverse.
