Meta did this? Mastodon gGmbH’s partner Meta at the Social Web Foundation?
But I thought Mastodon gGmbH were the good guys. I can’t see how they’d ever partner with Meta if this were true.
No, no, this must be fake news.
(Otherwise, what would it say about Mastodon gGmbH and the Social Web Foundation?)

@TristanB Who are you going to believe, them or your own eyes? What do you mean your own eyes? What are you, a communist?

@wendinoakland I’ve stopped holding my breath for Mastodon gGmbH to take a principled stand on this issue. The right time was when Meta first raised its ugly head in these parts. But I guess we have to give these surveillance capitalists every benefit of the doubt every fucking time.
Wendo, vertical drinker 🇺🇦
@aral This kind of behavior from #Meta would merit #FediBlock from #Mastodon. The #socialWebFoundation is an impossibility

@Wuzzy @Mastodon Yeah, you know me, I have nothing better to do than to go around making false accusations.
Wuzzy
This foundation makes zero sense. Claims to be for the "open future for social networks" but then has Meta a partner, has socials on X and Threads (but somehow not Mastodon (???)). Meta and X are 100% antithetical to this goal, it's all proprietary garbage. They’re enemies, not friends.
Open web, or Meta. Can’t have both.
@Mastodon Can you confirm you’re part of this foundation or is this accusation false? If it is true: When will you leave it?
Tristan :ms_bisexual_flag:
@aral b-b-but Meta have always been so very honest!
Are you implying that they would pretend to be in support of an open standard, that's outside of their control, only to corrupt and consume it entirely?
I am shocked, *shocked*, that anyone could even consider such a thing!

@aral @Wuzzy @Mastodon Lol Automattic’s on the list as well. Can’t make this up 😂

@schrotthaufen @aral @Wuzzy @Mastodon maybe they could ask Palantir to join the free open and colourful club

@Hache @schrotthaufen @aral @Wuzzy @Mastodon Ghost is on there too? I thought they were supposed to be the ethical alternative to Substack?
This is why we can’t have nice things.

@deadtom @Wuzzy @Mastodon > That alone was enough for me to immediately write this organization off back when it was announced.
That’s because you’re not corrupt.
(Rare quality these days.)

@Wuzzy @aral @Mastodon Here is the link to the launch announcement.
https://socialwebfoundation.org/2024/09/24/launch/
Under "Industry Support", Meta is the fourth one down.
That alone was enough for me to immediately write this organization off back when it was announced.
Meta wants to use the Fediverse as another avenue to farm AI training data, and user data. Their involvement in this organization is simply to figure out how they can do that, and any other ways they can loot the Fediverse for anything they can.
