And to be clear, I don't think the author of the post intentionally fed anyone bad info. But how much does that matter right now?
Anyone feel good about how much they know about that mysterious meeting? Anyone feeling *more* trust about any of this? Of course not. The vibes are in shambles.
The purpose of that meet was to:
A. Sow distrust with those already suspicious
B. Give those looking for a reason to trust, a plausible story to share across the fediverse. Causing more friction.
