Subject: What's going on with Meta?

To: @Gargron, @ruud, @jerry, @supernovae, @stux, @trumpet, @kev and other large instance admins

Rumors are tearing this place apart out here about secret deals with #Meta. The latest is that Meta has held #NDA meetings with some of you and they will federate with large instances under contracts providing financial support (1) (2).

This is a time for leadership, not silence. Please, what's going on?

@mastodonmigration I am not aware of any secret deals with Meta. As far as I can tell people are just making stuff up. There is little to comment on until Meta's platform launches.
@Gargron @mastodonmigration
I'm aware that there's a conspiracy theory to support pretty much anyone's political position.

@GreenFire also that dogs are talking to helicopters when they bark when there's a helicopter flying at close range.

Everybody would ignore that dog's hearing is so much better than a human's and that it's hurting but humen in general would just come up with #CrazyShit all the time because they are #StoryTellers.

They enjoy making stories and listening to stories.
