So I saw a recent post on lemmy from admins of another instance, forgive me for not remembering which, where they posted a full transparency update on Meta requesting a meeting with the admins of that instance. The admins declined, and then shared the correspondence with their community via screenshots of the original email from meta and their response.

My question is did @ruud@lemmy.world or any other lemmy.world admins get a similar invite, and if so, did you accept/attend?

I’m curious, because as far as I know lemmy.world has not made their stance on defederation from meta/threads very clear, not even to say that they weren’t sure or didn’t have a stance yet.

So, lemmy.world admins, If you did attend this off the record meeting, I’m sure they have some sort of agreement with you that the discussion stays off the record… But could you at least confirm or deny if you were invited to and/or attended such a meeting?

Edit: it was mastodon instance admins for Fosstodon here’s a link: https://fosstodon.org/@kev/110592625692688836 but my question still stands and I think the lemmy.world community deserves an answer.

    Ruud runs mastodon.world which is the sixth biggest instance as far as I know.

    I’m sure Zuckerberg knows what lemmy is, social media is his bread and butter. It would be silly if at the very least his team did not make him aware of its existence.

    In the grand scheme of things Lemmy is small potatoes for the scale Meta operates on. I’m sure it was mentioned as convenient that ActivityPub could support link aggregation so they can put out another connected app in the future to compete with Reddit, though.

      That’s a pretty fun idea actually. Facebook could more successfully make what the reddit board tried to turn their app into.
