Yeah, that's gonna be a hard pass from me thanks, Rachel.
Zero interest in having a conversation with #Meta "off the record" or otherwise.
Sharing this purely to be as transparent as possible with our members.
The exchange is about Meta’s upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!
You would still know what Meta is thinking of doing on the Fediverse, and adjust course accordingly. Now we 1) know nothing, and 2) have closed off an avenue to gain information.
They chose to close off that avenue by making it a closed, off the books, invite only meeting. And as other posters have already mentioned, its likely that the people that do show up might have to sign NDAs or something similar. So we might not have learned anything anways.
But if he attended he wouldn’t legally be able to share what he learned - or do anything that reveals details of the meeting without facing the wrath of Facebook’s legal department.
Curious if you have a rough example of what type of positive information that will be gained from the secret, closed-off meeting, and how it could benefit the community?
How do you think we could frontrun one of the largest tech companies in the world?

You would also be under NDA, which severely limits your options. Meta is not stupid.
Who would know that? Surely not the average user, since we weren’t all invited to this meeting, and everyone who was would be under NDA…

You would only ever know what Meta would be willing to tell you anyway. Also, there’s the whole NDA thing.
