More worrying than that, when directly asked about this by the "Mastodon Migration" user, Rochko's answer was not "I did not sign any NDA", no "I have not met with them", no "I have not heard any proposal from FB", no "I haven't signed any documents", and sure as fuck no "I'm not considering selling out and betraying you all", no, he said just "I am not aware of any secret deals with Meta".
We have to assume he met with them, signed the NDA and is seriously considering whatever they're proposing, and there's rumors that they're gonna pay money to any participant servers, that would make them effectively vassals of Meta.

If corporate and government powers want to control more of the fediverse (of course they do), they will approach the biggest instances first. If your instance is large, and you are not sure your instance operator cannot be corrupted, move to a smaller instance or run your own.

We can just hope, when the big split comes, that enough interesting ppl decide for the right side (imho for many others, it does matter sooo much tbh). @hedge@vfrmedia
