    Meta (Instagram) is building their Twitter competitor called “Threads”. It’s based on ActivityPub.
    Why wouldn’t they be talking to fedi-admins?

    Makes sense to collect feedback and talk about possible issues with people who have been doing this for a long time.

    I’m not sure why anyone would be surprised by any of this. Or why this should be controversial.
    I bloody well hope people got paid for their consultation. I hope they got paid well.
    Anything else would be a scandal.
