Meta is probably going to embrace, extend, and extinguish Mastodon

A few of the large Mastodon instance operators were invited to a secret meeting by Meta last week, who made attendees sign an NDA to discuss their P92 project and "seek feedback and guidance" regarding the integration of Meta's big fat fingers in the "Fediverse" (aka Mastodon/ActivityPub). Lionel Dricot has an insightful blog post explaining Google's adoption of XMPP back in the ICQ/MSN/Google Talk days and how it snuffed out an open, federated protocol by virtue of hosting the vast majority of users. There's a very large chance Meta will follow the same "embrace, extend, and extinguish" playbook with P92.
