“I know there’s a ton of skepticism about Meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable,” Cottle says. “I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions. We really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is.”

"We have really good intentions, that's why we're working for a company that's been involved in at least two dozen scandals and breaches of user privacy. I'm sure they won't do it again."
