Lemmy instance admins, please feel free to use it if you want. That’s a transparent PNG, here’s the PSD file. Feel free to edit to your liking, no credit needed (but it’s appreciated if you want).
Edit: just realized that some folks may not recognize this. It’s the Lemmy version of a reddit image that appeared at the bottom of the page in the old reddit version. It always made me smile, so I recreated it.

The creator of Mastodon went to some kind of Meta round table meeting (couldn’t find the original thread, here’s someone declining the offer), so it’s entirely possible that he was told a bunch of lies and believed them.
That said, Meta is going to pay the admins of whatever instances Threads decides to federate with, and they’ve said that’ll be the biggest instances, which… well, that’s mastodon.social, by far the biggest Mastodon instance. So, I don’t know. I don’t have any reason to believe that he’s a bad person, but what kind of money are we talking about here? No one is immune to that kind of temptation.
I dunno, this whole situation has a weird vibe.
