   This is a preemptive call to #Fediblock Meta's #P92/#Barcelona instance, for three reasons at least:
   1. it'll be huge and extremely poorly moderated;
   2. it will be a #privacy nightmare, allowing Meta to extensively profile #Fediverse users with greater ease;
   3. it will be used to #EEE the Fediverse in the same way their “support” for #RSS and #XMPP was used to wipe them out from the general consciousness with a rug-pull (my full thoughts on this: http://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/credible-threat-1/ )

     If you don't believe point 3, go reread all the hype about them and Google adopting XMPP two decades ago. You'll see that it aligns perfectly with the one about Facebook and ActivityPub. Nothing has changed since. Meta ha nothing to gain from joining the Fediverse. They're a juggernaut set on monopolizing the web and wiping out the competition. They'll use the federation to kill off Twitter and BlueSky, and then to siphon out the Fediverse itself from the general consciousness.

     Don't delude yourself in believing you can pull people from Meta to the open platforms through the federation channel. Not only it will not happen, but it'll actually be the reverse, right before they pull the plug.
