Very possible. It’s not like Loops was a secret, and it would be a direct competitor to Instagram Reels. Plus, E/E/E and all that.
I don’t follow too much, so I don’t know what E/E/E/ is, but it would be interesting if Meta is afraid of the fediverse.
It stands for “embrace, extend, extinguish”, a strategy used by Microsoft in the past to take over formerly open source projects.
