[–] SavvyWolf@beehaw.org 26 points 3 years ago (1 child) Meta could probably mitigate at least some fears about this if they did any planning or discussions out in the open. I get they want to have a massive "reveal event" or something, but come on... It's entirely possible (but perhaps unlikely) that this is a passion project by some engineers and Facebook is just sponsoring them "hands off". permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Refefer@beehaw.org 8 points 3 years ago I dunno... this has rings of Libra (now Diem?) to it.
