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 but we still don't know who they met and what was discussed. NDA was a bad idea to begin with.

There are about 3 million active users of the fediverse and billion dollar company targeted, what five, six, ten individuals?

@fedi what's NDA

@ana @fedi

"Non Disclosure Agreement." It's a contract that (mostly corporations & rich people) have you sign so you can't disclose the contents of any conversation they might have with you about a given topic.

#NDAs are incredibly helpful when developing a new product and trying to beat the competition to market, but are also incredibly helpful when trying to silence critical voices or trying to be sneaky about something.
