If you have a signed NDA contract then technically you are controlled by that contract. You could say if any admin signs it, then that admin is controlled by meta. If the head admin signed it, then lemmy.world would be controlled by meta in a legal sense. Not fully controlled, just contractually controlled in part(or secretly full and they wouldn’t be allowed to say).
Just so you know, these things play out in micro steps where people are never outraged enough to take meaningful action. You can drag out a takeover to take decades if you want.
The only point that matters is meta is evil, anyone that has any voluntary meaningful interaction with them is complicit, we should shun the complicit or we become complicit.(within reason and civilly of course)
And we haven’t even gotten to the part where we’ve actually established that someone did or did not have a conversation never mind whether anyone signed an NDA so my question remains, unaltered and unanswered.
Why hasn’t the there been an announcement when we repeatedly ask for confirmation? If he signed the NDA then they legally cant talk, and that seems to be happening now.
The only realistic thing that the NDA could have contained was stipulations around leaking details about Threads. Who cares. Some admins probably wanted an inside look so they agreed to not leak any details. That does nothing to put their instances under the control of Meta. Yeah sure the admins are “controlled by the contract”… to not share any secrets about Threads. Again who cares.
People dreaming up scenarios about the NDAs including clauses that let Meta control instances or their admins are delusional. As someone working in tech I sign NDAs all the time when I visit my friend’s companies. It doesn’t mean they have any control over me besides stopping me from leaking stuff that I see inside the company.
You don’t know what an NDA is lol, NDA = Non Disclosure Agreement, it’s very specifically tied to the things they’re revealing to you, Threads NDA means you can’t talk about what they’re telling you about Threads in that specific meeting, it has NOTHING to do with Lemmy.
Having admins knowing what they’re planning isn’t bad IMO, they more you know, the better you can counteract them.
Actually, it was my first home before I started my own instance and I still maintain a presence here.
And, seeing as you said you would answer any questions in this thread and then subsequently blew of my legitimate question with a snarky remark, well, I think that’s a clear sign of where this thread is going.
To put it simply, so what?

Conspiracy just pours out of you, eh? If that’s all you have to operate with then be wrong twice over for the same price.
Thats not how this works .jpg

Holy shit the amount of paranoia in this thread is terrifying. I good y’all are taking care of yourselves out there.

To put it bluntly, IDGAF. Crybabies lol

What is the big step about shutting down a 1 week old account?
That’s literally my only question. Why is this such a big deal, now?
This was put to bed weeks ago on a Mastodon thread that included all the big MastoAdmims.
