I'm gonna try to clear up a few things

Meta is not gonna buy Mastodon or any server, this is based on absolutely nothing and untrue.

Yes, some of us indeed got contacted by Meta/Insta because they are working on a new social platform (this was in the news) and they are looking into joining the Fediverse (Mark Zuckerberg also told this in the recent podcast)

SO.

This contact was about a "heads-up" for a potential big platform to join the network and not for a "take over".

People have asked me to 'preblock' this project but I am not gonna.

Meta is not Gab so we give them a chance and can always block them later with 2 simple button clicks..

We would never ever sell out on you but rather invest time to make this all go smooth without everything come crashing down

I hope this clears up some mis-understandings

@stux I just don't like how "Meta is not Gab" sounds a little too much like "this dragon is LESS BAD" to me. I don't want any dragons in my home.

@The_Augusto Well yeah it is

We know Meta

But we dont know their new platform so

@stux @The_Augusto we know they have a horrid track record on privacy, they have a horrid track record on moderation, and they have a horrid track record on “embracing” open protocols to kill them off. Each of this alone would be sufficient to preemptively defederate. All of them together even more so. Exactly what do you expect to be different this time?

Maybe there is already an exchange of $$$ happening behind the scenes.
