    Unlike VRChat, Overte is free from the constraints of a for-profit company. There is no censorship and modifications are not only possible but you can improve the code directly or create an application using the JavaScript API.

    ChilloutVR is a lot like VRChat but the CVR developers embrace and support modding rather than banning it.

    It's not a VR title. The primary function of VRChat is that it is a VR social game. So, whilst VRC does have a "desktop mode". and SL is similar, if not more advanced, in nature to VRC, fundamentally, those seeking out an alternative to VRChat are likely looking for a VR alternative, of which Second Life need not apply.

    Hopefully better than VRChat on Social with Strict Rules and No Toxic Players. Has Few Characters from Virtual Droid Applications. Just have to wait for themselves to get back online, since they haven't come back online since last year.
