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

    If we look at the positive aspect of this: it means Meta looks at Fediverse as a competitor and tries to do something around it. Unfortunately things could only be ugly. Meta running an instance won’t appear I think because it could be blocked. But taking control of big instances thanks its money might happened. And maybe has already happened and we don’t know it. Meta or another big tech company.
