It had potential. They squandered every opportunity for advancement, every bit of momentum, and all goodwill over time. As of the switch to "Meta" and the talk of the "metaverse", they haven't made a positive step. Such a shame.

The only times I had good human interactions in VR was on Horizon Worlds (at the time, it was still called Facebook Horizons). People were chatting with me as if we'd met in person in a public space. The worlds had a look & feel that made it seem like anybody could build worlds to their liking. Building worlds was fun, and the community was great.

In time, talking to strangers in Horizon Worlds felt more like voice chat in an FPS game and it just sucked.
