I don't think your assumption on how well I understand how the professional world works is correct.

I understand very well that signing any NDA is by no means "zero risk", it has a definite risk attached to it. Declining it is costly in some way, but also has definite advantages.

I also understand that very rarely is the phrasing ever "this conversation will be off the record", but rather some phrasing including the specific topics that may not be shared, like you say for example, product details. Blanket phrasings like this are always very sketchy.

I'm sure they could've already been profitable a long time ago if they hadn't 1400 employees or something and creating NFTs and shit.

This is not a proper talk by meta that you could just "hear them out". They explicitly said off the record and confidential, there's no reason for that if it's something innocuous. There 100% would be an NDA involved.

The fediverse is all about being open, starting with an NDA is definitely not "zero risk", you can not slip up ever, or you're going to be destroyed by lawyers, this is the exact opposite of "zero risk".

 

Description

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance. Currently only works for community/user links.

Home Instance Setup

Simply visit the Lemmy instance you want to set as your home while the script is active. You will be asked if you want to set this instance to your home instance:
home

If you initially set your home instance wrong or just want to change it, no worries - simply go to your settings on your new home instance and press the button for it!
settings

Features

  • Rewrite all links of communities or users on all websites everywhere to your new instance! The rewritten links will have an icon next to it, and hovering/touching the icon will show you the original link, allowing you to go there if you want to.
    rewrite

  • If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header.
    redirect

Coming soon

  • Post & comment links. Those are a bit harder because the URL has to be requested from the instances.

Repository & Issues

 

When I went to https://feddit.de/c/requests@lemmit.online I noticed the sidebar links to /c/about - which doesn't exist on feddit.de

I'd suggest to change the link to https://lemmit.online/c/about so people from other instances can find it more easily.

The rival platform is "Kick" in case anyone wants to not open the article but still wants to know which it is.

Ah yes, /r/technology, the only technology subreddit on reddit. There certainly has never existed a https://www.reddit.com/r/technews/, or / https://www.reddit.com/r/technewstoday/ or a bunch of more technology subreddits. No. Of course there ever only was /r/technology. No fragmentation whatsoever on reddit.

I mean in this case, you can decide between some theory based on no information at all but unaffiliated, or based on all information but biased.

There's still a good chance that the downtime is unexpected, downtime in general is never good for a site that earns money by people being on it.

So I think the "unexpected" case is still more likely than it being intentional.
