Rumors of a secret meeting under NDA between big Fediverse instance admins and Meta (beehaw.org)

Apparently there was a secret meeting between admins of big Fedi instances and Meta, closed under an NDA, and of course they're not saying anything.

Somebody already made a pact to publicly commit admins to block Meta

Now we see why concentrating users on big instances is a liability

Update: Supernaut directly stated that he hasn't been contacted or attended a meeting, and went further to set up a page to visualize instances entering the Anti-Meta Fedipact

I could understand an NDA if you're talking about the particulars of the backend, but the fact that we don't know what the NDA contains, AND the author of the entire protocol hasn't been approached doesn't bode well (https://octodon.social/@cwebber/110567421460454488)

Yeah I like CWeber. Probably would have laugh while telling them to shove it.

I agree. Shady shit imo. Just like FB.

@UnkTheUnk
Reread the post you quoted, it’s not a fact.
