Im rooting for everyone to stop paying attention to bullshit billionaires say, and start paying attention to the bullshit billionaires actually do
Yeah, we were all sold on the illusion that these fucks are smarter or work harder than everyone else.
Ive met some of these fucks - inbred old money peices of shit all of them.
Wouldnt piss on a person to put out a fire, zero compassion psychopaths.
What happened?
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.
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)
I’m receptive to the arguments that the Fediverse should be open even to Meta, but we’ve seen this play out too many times before - you simply can’t trust a big company like Meta not to try to take over + destroy the Fediverse, when there are tremendous financial incentives to their doing so and no meaningful negative consequences if they do.
