==What we know so far==
 
What Meta officially said is that it's "exploring a standalone decentralized social network for sharing text updates."
 
Leaks suggest that P92 will:
* be federating with Instagram and the Fediverse
* have a character limit of 500
* look a lot like Twitter
* be used by prominent people like DJ Slime, Oprah and the Dalai Lama
 
Apparently [[Fedizen:Eugen Rochko]] and [[Fedizen:Daniel Supernault]] already had a talk with Meta and signed an NDA.
