Attached: 1 image 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!

Meta could probably mitigate at least some fears about this if they did any planning or discussions out in the open.

I get they want to have a massive “reveal event” or something, but come on…

It’s entirely possible (but perhaps unlikely) that this is a passion project by some engineers and Facebook is just sponsoring them “hands off”.

I dunno… this has rings of Libra (now Diem?) to it. Given engagement on Meta is down, it feels more like a playbook to tap into the zeitgeist and capture the shift in traffic.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
