So, recently some fediverse admins (mostly Mastodon) and the founder of Mastodon, Eugen Rochko (Gargron), where contacted by Meta/Facebook for an NDA meeting. We know nothing about it, but we're pretty sure that it was about this project92 thing that Meta/Facebook is creating to "compete" with Twitter.
So a lot of Mastodon admins already singed a pact to immediately block any Meta/Facebook activity in the fediverse as soon as it comes up. My Mastodon instance, fosstodon.org hasn't singed that pact and I'm pretty worried.
The following image is an screenshot of Gargron and dansup (creator of Pixelfed) talking about this. These posts were deleted, even from the wayback machine.
On the other hand, you could attend the meeting and offer nothing of value, thus wasting meta's time and energy and getting a free lunch. Honestly might not be worth it tho, since you'd be wasting your time.
A free lunch in exchange for an hour of bullshitting? Seems like a fair trade.
I'm too busy for that to be worth my time, but I understand I'm in a place of significant privilege. Then again, if it was like zoom I could just leave it on in the background and mostly ignore it probably.
