Rumor that some Fediverse devs and admins had secret discussions with Facebook (mstdn.social)

For those who don't know, many fediverse devs and activitypub projects are funded in part by NLnet NGIZero grants, which are in turn funded by nonprofits like FSF (Free software foundation), NixOS, and the European Commission (!). Projects include the likes of Gitea/forgejo/forgefed (federation aspect of selfhosted git services), pixelfed, both Lemmy AND kbin, their apps like pixeldroid and lemmur, Mastodon, Misskey, Owncast, peertube, funkwhale, ActivityPub for WordPress, hubzilla, gotosocial, Matrix chat (specifically E2EE improvements), Fractal Matrix client, as well as other non-fediverse oriented projects like F-droid, Briar chat, nextcloud, jitsi meet, cryptpad, searx.

The fediverse is very community donation and nonprofit funded right now.
