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

    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 what he learned - 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…
