Just because said media empire is using the same federation protocol as that one guy
"Their in cahoots together"
"Omg, secret meetings, oh its just about tech interop? There must be a hidden meaning"
"Meta did something unrelated to fedi, so i hate them and u"
It ok to have an opinion, but facts are important too

@dansup there's a certain "guilt-by-association" and "don't sit at the table" aspect to it though? like, you can work with them on interop, or you can treat them as a hostile actor. there's other options in between but those are the main two. and so the choice to work with them in any capacity can be seen in a political light. you're not responsible for or condoning their actions, but you *are* at minimum overlooking them.
