Ideologically, de-federating an instance just because you don't like the guy running it would be a bad thing, but Facebook/Meta has been just so toxic to the internet as a whole it's hard to really find fault with it.

My concern is less Suckerburg as much as Meta's corporate history. My expectation is that they'll try to use this to conquer and destroy Lemmy.

Ideologically, I find more fault in inviting meta to the playground than locking them out. They are the very definition of an evil corporation and no good can come of it.

Pragmatically, twitter style system requires a large networked userbase to be useful for most of the population, otherwise people are tooting into the void in mastodon. So even if I have to work with some soulless corporations to get there I think it's a net positive. For lemmy i don't think threads matters much.

I thought the whole ideology of the fediverse was to get away from corporationl influence. So I'd say this is very much true to the ideology as well.

Yup.

Facebook has been around for almost two decades.

This is not some unknown guy - we know exactly what Facebook's business strategy and ethical and moral conduct looks like.

Exactly, there's an exception to every rule.

I saw someone in another discussion say it perfectly: they put the meta back in metastatic!
