Meta could be doing the same thing Truth Social did: set up a giant Mastodon instance and leave it at that.
They don't need an NDA for that, and he certainly knows better than to sign one.
This is fishy to the extreme
Not really. Most big corporations require a NDA to use their toilets. Slight exaggeration but not by much.
Wait and see.
The blanket use of them isn’t better
We know it’s to hide the abuses
Seriously doubt that.
Me too, unfortunately.
(E: For perspective,) Truth Social was just a mouthy startup for spreading hate, not a nearly trillion dollar company with a lengthy history of anti-competitive activity.
We hope so.
Wouldn't it be better if they federated so it doesn't become a walled garden in there? It means we can stay on our own instances but aren't cut off from their large userbase.
They'll likely federate with those who worked with them and signed NDA. They are probably going to allowlist federate ... My guess
You're probably correct :(
