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

NDAs can't legally last for ever but can last long enough to make the info useless by the time you can legally see it. That said I see why a company who's ownership sticks on speculative market would want to control its image and prevent speculation about this deal.
