They will very soon have the largest userbase of any instance. If your instance gets blocked by Meta, your users suddenly have a fraction of the reach because no Meta people can see your posts anymore. That would put a lot of pressure on admins I imagine.

    I doubt people who would use Meta's instance are the sort of interesting people I'm on Lemmy for.

    If the other instances federate with Meta's you won't have a choice. Content from Meta users will be pouring in.

    Sort of, you don't have to subscribe to their communities or follow users from Meta. We don't want to talk with Facebook users, that's not why we're here. There isn't a single person on Facebook who would feel disrupted if they suddenly didn't see my content anymore, either.
