I'd wait until they officially sell out, however, nothing I know of that's well financed and stable.
Honestly, that sounds like a lot of "what ifs."
Did I miss something?
So far, as far as I know, Meta is building an instance and app and lots of admins are vowing to block them regardless.
What else has actually happened?
Rumors?
From where?
@TheActualBrian You're kidding right?

Also just search here for "meta nda"
#fedipact #meta #mastodev
No, I wasn't kidding.
Not trying to be rude, but the circle you're in isn't as large as you seem to think it is.
Also, that link, it's one guy making claims with, as far as I can tell, nothing backing it up.
I searched "Meta NDA" and found nothing about Mastodon instances being bought or signing NDAs, except for the link you posted.
Is there any credible information that something sinister is afoot?
@TheActualBrian There's a long list of instances that have agreed to block meta, should it come to that https://fedipact.online/
I'm not sure where the original post is (possibly Twitter) that started all this but there is a post from the mastadon founder talking about NDA's (see image).
Then there's the tags.. #project92, #fedipact #blockmeta #savethefediverse #defederateMeta
...ok, so a lot of people are reacting, but that's meaningless.
Where's the actual proof that:
Any admins talked to Meta
Were asked to sign anything
There's money involved or proposed
Or any of it?
Yeah, a lot of people are freaking out, flexing, etc...
Why? One guy said something?
Where's the actual evidence?
Come on. Be rational.
🙄 Cute. Just gotta be "technically correct."
So, now I'm more than "technically correct." I'm damned right.
A bunch of people, scared, freaking out, crippling main instances of Mastodon, because they're jumping to conclusions with no evidence and so full of themselves that they think big, bad Meta is out to get them and they're going to beat the evil Zuck.
Talk to me when facts are available.
Oh, well, that's a really good reason to freak out and move your account and ban whole servers and sign a pact and follow the herd and act like something is happening.
You might not ever know about something that may not actually exist.
This is how people fall into conspiracy theories.
Touch grass.
I mean, listen to yourself.
Sign a pact to ban servers that are financed by Meta.
Also, we'll never know who's financed by Meta.
I guess the monsters are due on Maple St.
