The exchange is about Meta’s upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!

    Granted, it’s Meta, they’re not to be trusted, but still, a discussion, if one has the time, wouldn’t be too bad an idea.

    It feels like Meta has to pay like a billion dollars in fines every few weeks in europe for violations. And they don’t seem to plan on stopping (based on the fact that it happens every few weeks). Even faintly hoping that you could even have the smallest chance of moving even the smallest gear in Meta by appearing in such a meeting is complete delusion.

      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.

        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?

        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 information - or do anything that reveals details of the meeting without facing the wrath of Facebook’s legal department.

        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…
