Having the Instagram branding would bring more celebrities and such, which will undoubtedly attract more people to the fediverse.
Once they’re in and are more familiar with the whole thing, moving them to Mastodon shouldn’t be that hard.
You say that but I fully believe Meta will tamper with their instance to push external users to sign up in order to engage with anything, while limiting the ability for them to get back out, effectively aiming to become the de-facto 'center' of the fediverse.
The Head of Instagram commented on this:
Look, I don't want to be Devil's advocate for Meta, but I'm kinda hopeful as I truly believe they entering the fediverse can be a good thing in the long run.
