@akien I think you just have to think about your wording more carefully.

I could have predicted a bad reaction from that statement, reading the first few words about "collaborating" with Meta gave me very bad vibes initially, maybe because it implies help went in both directions. While if you said that Meta "contributed" work it would probably have been fine.

What you have here is not antagonism, it's the absence of yes-men. If you want real replies and not just PR cheering, this is good.
