I can't even begin to explain this without getting into what fediverse politics has been but i thought this would be of interest to you guys regardless. The TLDR is that Meta's been developing their own ActivityPub project (and with it instances) under P92. And apparently they had a meeting with key figures especially on the microblogging side (so that includes Eugen the Masto guy) - no details provided because got NDA.

If you've been on fediverse to avoid corporate socmed and/or object against surveillance capitalism, naturally this wasn't treated as good news.

(I thought this is the best channel for this but lemme know if i got it wrong)

@cendawanita do you know where mastodon.world stands in this? I migrated off of mastodon.social seven months ago and I really hope I don’t have to move again

@Chimaera I'll try and find out and update, but i haven't heard anything. I do know mastodon.art defederated with universodon because they took the meeting and presented it positively. And stux the mod for mstdn.social defed .art in retaliation and fwiw the boosterist ppl, the ones who like fedi to just grow3x do have their own backchannel and feel positively about this. Otoh Jerry of fedia.io and infosex.exchange wasn't invited and anyway here's his position: https://infosec.exchange/@jerry/110568504315575784

Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
