Does the GPL apply to content published on the fediverse? If yes we're getting a great open source model for free.

Also obligatory fuck META

No, the GPL is strictly a software license. Even then, most Fediverse platforms are AGPL at best, which only really deals with modifications to the source code of AGPL projects. Content licensing itself is more nebulous and more complicated.
