Good point! I’m sure Zuckerberg knows what lemmy is, social media is his bread and butter. It would be silly if at the very least his team did not make him aware of its existence. But they are developing an app that will work with the fediverse, so even doubly weird if he wasn’t aware of lemmy and any other significant fediverse apps.
I didn’t even know about ruud running a mastodon instance, but your second point has me doubling down on my question, whereas before I had my doubts because the meta letter was mastodon focused, but you’ve kind of brought that full circle for me with the info you’ve shared. Thanks!
