I want to apologize again for the sudden block from mstdn to .art💔

Some say it's because they where bashing on meta but that's untrue.

The admin was spreading mis information about the discussion that only fueled the fire and not the discussion with knowing any of the facts

If a "user" does this we can handle accordingly but when an admin does this it's getting worrisome

We should not figh each other but rather talk about it like adults, and also I am to blame in this

It won't happen again

@stux What is going on? Can you clarify this whole Meta thing once and for all Stux?

@stux I don't actually understand what is happening. In just a few words, toots are "saying" some fedi admins held a meeting with Meta staff and "signed" a NDA. Is any of this true? What do you know?

@stux Ok, thanks! So, answering the questions based on this link:

1. Yes, there has been a contact, or even a meeting with Meta. This could had been done by email or even video conference ¿right?

2. Meta didn't ask for an NDA from these fedi admins ¿right? They just wanted to know "things" because they want to use the protocol ¿right?

Just making sure I'm understanding the posts. 🤓

@maperal Sure thing :cat_hug_triangle:

1. Yes and yes haha! It would be indeed via digital channels since we're all over the world

2. Yes they did.. I guess because some info about their project is not public so an NDA is quite standard I guess 😉

@stux
Ok. So what people are concerned about is the NDA.

This has to do with the big fish eating the little ones, and I'm sure you understand this.

On the other side, since you were in the meeting (am i right?), you know about what can't be revealed. So, in this matter, and according to your own judgement, is this related to pure technical reasons, meaning, develpoment of software, infrastructure and such, so that (in appearence) won't hurt the community?

And I ask this, because since this is a HUGE company that will join the fediverse, it is important we all know about the implications and even if this is viable in a long term.
