@aral Jeezus. He showed his true face all the way back in 2010 and it seems as if everyone forgot about that.

@aral I am almost certain the meetings and NDA part was stupid fwarmongering but it still keep spreading, somethimes the open source community sucks!!!

@gamey @aral is there a source?

gamey, 10 months ago

@powersource @aral At least one of the accused instance owners joined the alliance to block Meta shortly after and they denied the accusations, furthermore I wasn't able to find a proper source for the claim itself. I don't know for sure but I am quite sure it is fake and if it's not I am happy to read the source but we as community have to be more careful with claims like that in general!
