SL is at its core a place to interact with people.

I know for me it was a lifeline during the pandemic when I was alone at home with no one to socialize with.

From a report: In fact, this will be the first time that Second Life has expanded beyond the PC (across Windows, macOS, and Linux) in any form. ![]() Believe it or not, it has been running continually this entire time - and now it's coming to mobile for the first time. Remember Second Life? The virtual world launched on the desktop web back in 2003 with 3D avatars and spaces for various social activities.
