Hello,

You may have heard of P92. I am reaching out because Instagram is interested to host a roundtable on June 27th, from 11:15am - 12:00pm PT with Mastodon server admins to seek feedback and guidance. This conversation will be off the record, as the team may discuss confidential details that should not be shared with others.

Let me know if you are interested to join, and I can send you the meetibg details.

Thank you,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for the email. Meta's moral compass and my own are far from aligned, so I really don't see how this could be a productive conversation. With that in mind, I'm going to pass on this offer.

If you want my feedback/guidance, I'm happy to provide it here - your primary motivation for P92 should be to connect people, not to make money by forfeiting their privacy for ad revenue. We both know that's very unlikely to happen though. There you have it, that's my feedback, so no need for a conversation now. :)

Kind regards,
