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

I'm generally pretty anti-corporation, but federating and working with corporations is a great opportunity for the Fediverse. Corpos like Twitter, reddit, and meta would provide an easily accessible path to be in the Fediverse for non experienced users. And the Fediverse in return gets more users + more content etc.

You essentially get the opportunity to keep your data out of the hands of corporations(pseudo anonymously + open source) while being supplied with content from the average users.
