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!
Thanks for sharing, that article is fresh out of the oven!
Having been interested in Open Source software for a few years, I always give big companies the side-eye when they suddenly take great interest into FOSS projects.
I am not against talk and federation, but Meta needs to make clear their motivations if they want the Fediverse’s trust at all.
Even if they make their intentions clear, why would we believe or trust them? What’s to stop them straight up lying about their intentions? When there are investors involved, all ethics go out the window.

They have already lost all trust.
Precisely, they are starting from a position of zero or negative trust for many. For me, they don’t get the benefit of doubt unless they earn it back.
