Meta and the Fediverse
In the case of Meta want to join the Fediverse, Equestria.Social will block Meta instance.
Here 4 links to understand why :

It's suspended not restricted so yeah no interactions possible at all
Letting Meta communicate with Fediverse could be dangerous for the health of the Fediverse itself and could essentially bring it into a situation like the one xmpp was in because of Google where Mastodon for example is just fixing issues with the federation with threads taking up time that could be used to add new features instead and at the end meta just realizes that there not enough users in the rest of the Fediverse to justify federating and would just stop federation

If I decide to block Meta instance is based on the experience of the past like write in the article https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
Also, Meta even with all good will possible and not trying to extinguish the Fediverse (which I think it's their goal to surf on the trend and then kill it) they can intercept all interactions you can have with a Meta user, even if you post in the public feed, they can legitimately get it (like you can see in the global timeline).
Facebook (and Meta) have in their databases "ghost profiles", that are profiles from user with no account even not when they not interact with Facebook.
Blocking Meta to getting into the Fediverse is a task that all Fediverse administrators should do to save the Fediverse and try avoid these data hungry company out of the Fediverse.
Also the content provided by Meta (an attention based social network company) will guarantee bad content will come.
