Attached: 1 image Yeah, that's gonna be a hard pass from me thanks, Rachel. Zero interest in having a conversation with #Meta "off the record" or otherwise. Sharing this purely to be as transparent as possible with our members.

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

    Meta could probably mitigate at least some fears about this if they did any planning or discussions out in the open.

    I get they want to have a massive “reveal event” or something, but come on…

    It’s entirely possible (but perhaps unlikely) that this is a passion project by some engineers and Facebook is just sponsoring them “hands off”.

      I dunno… this has rings of Libra (now Diem?) to it. Given engagement on Meta is down, it feels more like a playbook to tap into the zeitgeist and capture the shift in traffic.
