What happened?

Meta the company started saying they were going to build a twitter replacement on the fediverse and some instances made a pact to block them to protect their users from Metas invasive privacy violations.

thanks!

Which is ironic given that the Fediverse's structure is pretty much wide open.

I see it as the Paradox of Tolerance (with proprietary walled-garden makers standing in for the nazis): in order to have a free and open Fediverse, we must not tolerate those who would close it up.

Meta (parent of Facebook, instagram…etc) want to have their content to become federated and part of Lemmy and Mastodon.

Meta has been asking Mastodon and Lemmy server admins to have a “off the record” discussion panel. They told meta to fuck off.

Here’s a post about the email meta has been sending to admins and his response.

one admin told them that. some of them have actually met with Meta after signing an NDA earlier this week.

Fuck that NDA leak the meeting

I mean, if i was an admin i would rationalize that its in your interest to listen to the enemy if they might reveal their evil plan. Even if you have to sign a contract that you can publicly talk about it. (Can always confine to a distant acquittance that is prone to start rumours)

That is true. Albeit attending a meeting doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna be selling your soul to Meta. Hopefully, those that do decide to attend stand up for the communities that are being built in the Fediverse.
