Meta’s incursion in the fediverse might cause very bad effects, there’s nothing preventing them from spitting add from their new platform to all other platforms compatible with it.
I really hope that if we come to that, admins will defederate immediately.
Then those instances will get defederated right along with Meta itself.
Ultimately, there’s very little friction for users when it comes to choosing which instance they want to “view” the Fediverse from, so if some of them are ad-laden and others are not they’ll gravitate to the non-ad-laden ones. This will be especially easy once account migration features get implemented.

Nah admins/owners of instances are gonna get paid to stay
This is what I fear the most tbh

Yeah this is the thing about the fediverse. As long as you can defederated there will always be an instance willing to provide that niche
That is true, the nature of the fediverse does mean that you won’t have to interact with fedbook’s server if you don’t want to.
