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.
Some people that weren't contacted by Meta are singing this pact to block Meta's Project92 as soon it comes up in the Fediverse. We know little about the ones that were contacted.
And looks likr the meeting has already happened.
Yeah the guy who runs my mastadon instance has been boosting pro-meta posts all over but then I see him boosting people on the opposite side of the aisle on occasion. Not sure where he stands if he's not made a statement himself. I hope he's part of that pact.
