What do you think the NDA says that would be a huge issue? As mentioned before, NDAs are extremely common in business environments and don’t mean much other than you can’t leak proprietary information. An NDA can’t compel someone to do anything and absolutely can’t silence people. If any of the admins that were a part of the meeting signed the NDA and had an issue with what was discussed, they can definitely bring up that it was problematic as long as they don’t give too specific of details. I personally don’t trust Meta at all, but the NDA is not one of the reasons.
It’s also important to note that right now, ActivityPub is fairly small and most of the users use it because of issues with the alternatives. If Meta tried to do anything, it’s likely the same people and more would stay here instead of moving to Threads. Also this may be naive, but I strongly believe that if more major players adopt ActivityPub, it would incentivize everyone to continue supporting it. This will not happen if we take such a hostile approach to corporations joining the fediverse.
