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

Okay, but this is the problem the fediverse was created to solve. If someone starts doing dumb things, we just defederate from them. No need to freak out about it.

The only thing this does, IMO, is highlight the need for easy instance migration, just in case the one doing dumb things is your own instance owner.
