I'm not implying anything. I am curious why Mastodon's stance has changed so much in the past few years. I would like them to rule out that there's any financial connection.

They used to have a very anti-corporate animation in 2018 which ended with a parody of Facebook and Twitter (fedi.video/w/m9L9gYXJypnywSyCh).

This press statement doesn't feel like it fits in with that old Mastodon.

@feditips I know you are acting in good faith and you care.

Alex has moved to @alex@xim.ca

@catalyst @feditips he isn't. He even said so. That is transparency.
What more do people want?

That statement doesn't say anything substantive.

@feditips @alexpostfacto @catalyst You expect something substantive about... nothing existing? Nothing exists. He has told you.

I mean it's not a substantive answer, because it wasn't really answering the question asked. It didn't deny meeting Meta.

And "there is little to comment on until Meta's platform launches" is almost word for word what someone would say who has signed an NDA on an unreleased product. NDAs generally forbid commentary on upcoming products until after their launch.

That's why I'm asking a direct question, in the hope of direct answers.

@feditips @alexpostfacto @catalyst Why wouldn't someone meet with Meta? It would be stupid not to, because information is power. That doesn't mean there are any agreements, especially when he has said there are no agreements.
