OOTL. What's going on?

Meta (formerly known as Facebook) released an app to k on n the fediverse to take on the likes of twitter nd mastodon today.

The war cry is to defederate them before they get to th point of trying to kill the fediverse.

Threads is a twitter competitor by meta. They plan to eventually federate with the wider fediverse and to that end have contacted some of the larger fediverse servers like Mastodon.social (not mstdn.social) to do this. People are defederating before this happens because they worry meta will negatively affect the fediverse.

It's mastodon.social that plans to federate. As the list linked above reflects, mstdn.social is preemptively blocking Meta

My bad, I swear I remembered him being a part of the NDA meeting, maybe he was but was suspicious

No worries, I was just trying to clear up any confusion! Mostly because those two instances have a really similar name, and are easy to mix up.

I think there were a lot of rumors about stux, because he runs a couple big servers, & wouldn't sign that anit-meta pact, but I know he denies going to the nda meeting, & he announced blocking Meta today, after a big poll.
