Rumors of a secret meeting under NDA between big Fediverse instance admins and Meta (beehaw.org)

Apparently there was a secret meeting between admins of big Fedi instances and Meta, closed under an NDA, and of course they're not saying anything.

Somebody already made a pact to publicly commit admins to block Meta

Now we see why concentrating users on big instances is a liability

Update: Supernaut directly stated that he hasn't been contacted or attended a meeting, and went further to set up a page to visualize instances entering the Anti-Meta Fedipact

This is a very "if Walmart wants to open a supercenter in our tiny little town there's not much harm in letting them, after all our local mom and pop shops will always be available if we need to kick them out!" -- Facebook has done this many times before, by the time the jig is up it's too late to undo.
