Rumors of a secret meeting under NDA between big Fediverse instance admins and Meta
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.
It would be extremely funny if Meta spent a shit load of money buying a bunch of large fediverse instances then everyone just immidiately migrated to other instances and defederated them.
