i know the fediverse has been pretty split and a lot of big instances (mainly microblogging and mastodon-like softwares, but some lemmy instances are defederating meta too) but what do you think?

My response is the same thing I posted over and over. They don't care about that... because the fedi population is completely irrelevant. I don't want to state my same point for a third time. Also, yes I do run my own email server tied to two domains actually. But it's configured correctly and I have never been blocked in my ~4 years or so of running it. Both are .dev domains (which is owned by google lol), and certain TLDs like .top domains will almost always go straight to spam. So things like that factor into reputability.

If they didn't care about the fedi population, why are they making it compatible then?

Because they do good things sometimes. See how they open-sourced LLamA and React. If you don't have an actual logical reasoning as to why this is harmful to the fedi, then it's just fear mongering.

Logical reasoning?

I just laid it out to you, and your only arguments are "the circumstances are different" and "sometimes they do good things".

They just burnt through a shit-ton of money on their metaverse idea, they are not gonna be doing anything but shrewd business decisions for a while.

I've got a bridge to sell you.
