I'm going to go visit #Meta in San Francisco tomorrow for their "Threads Interoperating in the Fediverse Data Dialogue". Not exactly sure what to expect, or who else is participating, but I figure I can listen and learn and make up my mind afterwards.
They say it's Chatham House rules, meaning I can post this and whatever else interesting transpires. No NDA involved.
Regardless where you stand on the meta-and-the-fediverse question, I think having more info is better.
