Meta (parent of Facebook, instagram…etc) want to have their content to become federated and part of Lemmy and Mastodon.
Meta has been asking Mastodon and Lemmy server admins to have a “off the record” discussion panel. They told meta to fuck off.
Here’s a post about the email meta has been sending to admins and his response.

one admin told them that. some of them have actually met with Meta after signing an NDA earlier this week.
Fuck that NDA leak the meeting
I mean, if i was an admin i would rationalize that its in your interest to listen to the enemy if they might reveal their evil plan. Even if you have to sign a contract that you can publicly talk about it. (Can always confine to a distant acquittance that is prone to start rumours)
That is true. Albeit attending a meeting doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna be selling your soul to Meta. Hopefully, those that do decide to attend stand up for the communities that are being built in the Fediverse.
I would personally be inclined to take the meeting to better know how to counter their efforts.
Tbh, I'd really be interested into hearing what is said in that meeting...
They made the admins sign nda's so its unlikely we will hear anything about it
unfortunate... something ought to be leaked sometime... I mean their messing with internet culture. I hope something slips through
