@stux f you’re talking to them about a good integration, there are two things you should tell them.

1. We don’t want you to connect to the Fediverse until the application is fully integrated into the Integrity content review system, and the reviewers are trained and staffed in the appropriate languages.
If they don’t have moderation integrated on day one, this will be a disaster, because they’ll end up getting blocked right and left.

2. We need to know that the moderation interaction from other Fediverse systems to Meta is implemented and staffed.

I assume they also know that Fediverse standards on hate speech on most servers are probably higher than current Facebook/Instagram standards, and that Fediverse standards on obscene speech are probably lower, and they’d better be prepared to deal with that properly. But really, those two items are the important ones.

@stux I would be ok as long as they:

1. Had a compelling motivation.

2. Were willing and hoping to re-federate in the case that their suspicions were false or unfounded.

Both are true here. This feels incredibly risky. FB needs to prove legitemacy to investors and this looks like it's an atrempt to capture usage from Mastodon and then cut off ActivityPub once they reach critical mass. I don't want to indirectly support that.

Please reconsider.

The Fediverse is supposed to be an open place with transparency about its development and funding. That's why so many people give time and money to it freely.

NDAs are the opposite of transparent, they legally tie the hands of people who sign them and in this case it's purely for the benefit of Meta/Facebook.
