Very interesting read, it showcases how big tech can grow more aware of the "threat" of the Fediverse and how they might act.

UPDATE: Those rumours have been confirmed as at least one Mastodon admin, kev, from fosstodon.org, has been contacted to take part in an off-the-record meeting with Meta. He had the best possible reaction: he refused politely and, most importantly, published the email to be transparent with its users. Thanks kev!

What a hero, whoever you are!
