Has there been any public discussion about what the SDF mastodon instances (mastodon.sdf.org and social.sdf.org) plan to do if #Project92 comes to pass and meta/facebook begins to federate with ActivityPub instances?
SDF does not seem to agree NDAs with Meta is a good thing. “They” have said as much in a recent post:
@jasongreen I personally plan on blocking them, and have preemptively defederated on the self-hosted Friendica node I run, but I’m also not foolish enough to think that this will prevent them from scraping the fediverse for every last scrap of personal information they can.
Tbh they probably already are scraping data
It’s not clear to me what the threat is? I’m probably missing something because lots of people are pretty heated up about it.
Many believe that Meta is using an embrace, extend, extinguish strategy here. See:

They’re a corporation so I feel it’s safe to assume this.
