For anyone who lacks the advanced level of age I mean experience some of us have, you should read this Wikipedia page on Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish

I guarantee this is the goal of Meta joining the fediverse

@joshbressers This. So much this. The "wait and see" attitude that some people have with Meta is concerning for this very scenario.

@simplenomad @joshbressers I don't think defederation should be the default for whatever Meta's service even ends up being. I do think that there should be plenty of instances that do, so that the people who are actively running away from FB and corporate social media have an option, but I think defederating from instances that don't defederate from Meta would be exactly the sort of cannibalistic division that would enable Meta to get a larger share of Fediverse users.
