Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I can't even begin to explain this without getting into what fediverse politics has been but i thought this would be of interest to you guys regardless. The TLDR is that Meta's been developing their own ActivityPub project (and with it instances) under P92. And apparently they had a meeting with key figures especially on the microblogging side (so that includes Eugen the Masto guy) - no details provided because got NDA.

If you've been on fediverse to avoid corporate socmed and/or object against surveillance capitalism, naturally this wasn't treated as good news.

(I thought this is the best channel for this but lemme know if i got it wrong)

@cendawanita The last thing anyone needs is that F*k Zuckerberg here in the fediverse. I just got here after leaving spez's imploding site - getting Zuck instead is a demon nightmare of harvesting data at a level that spez could not imagine. I'm too new here to know what P92 is but whoever is executing an NDA needs to have their access cut off or at least fenced in and then the project needs to be attacked like a biologic against a cancer growth.

@gentleman couldn't agree more. I don't think they'll do a massive hit on fediverse qua fediverse but the way they build shadow profiles even on non-fb users is a major redline for me
