Oh. So it is indeed a Facebook Labs research project / persona.

I thought that was sarcasm. Puts this thing under a whole new perspective.

EDIT: I’m utterly confused now. It does seem to be pure sarcasm. Can not find any other mention of this, or who is behind Kickscondor at all.

Where did the parent comment’s claim that he works at Facebook come from, if we have no idea who this is?

https://usesthis.com/interviews/kicks.condor/ according to this it is a Facebook labs personality. The domain owner is obfuscated. Kickscondor didn't provide a valid response to my question. I would rather not participate on any Facebook owned or related properties, domains, projects. Also, I didn't find any privacy or data policies on multiverse.

Another site asking for people to sign up using only their email address, having no TOS/PP, and the people from the project acting like trolls instead of answering simple questions.

Yeah I asked because I was sort of hoping for a simple answer free of irony and trolling. Deflecting and avoiding the question, especially as their comment I initially replied to wasn't in the same tone, is disheartening.

You are "disheartened" by not having it explicitly stated that there are no twins named "Cody" and "Jody" working for Facebook Labs saying things like "So basically imagine one day being able to buy Kicks Condor from Facebook and be him in your world." and that they like Segway electric shoes? Claiming to use VR to interact with personalities they're inventing? Saying they "pull a lot from the amateur cigar-smoking community"?

I'm sorry. Sometimes I don't know how to relate to people who are very serious about the topic at hand. I'm sorry - you asked the question earnestly and I disappointed.

Just a correction - my previous employer was Grape Nuts Marketing. They did a retrospective on me earlier this year: https://web.archive.org/web/20210201092129/https://kickscond...

I know this just makes things worse. But at least it could help be a decisive final blow to my reputation that you all are looking for?

Again the charades. You think you’re being funny, but privacy is a real concern today and this obscurity is honestly a huge red sign for signing up for any of your projects, including this latest one. Who knows where our data will end up.
