Facebook is planning to join the Fediverse by releasing a Twitter-like service that runs on ActivityPub. This would flood the Fediverse with content (and trolls) from Facebook, allow Facebook to mine data from the Fediverse, and would do irreparable damage to this small part of the internet which has not yet been marred by corporate greed.

Will the admins of this instance agree to block any instance that is set up by Facebook?

Meta likely see everyone as a potential threat, and since reddit is pretty big but mail fall, they are looking at whom might succeed them and become a new competitor to meta and taking away eyes from meta and ad profit.

I wouldn't underestimate their "buy 'em out" mentality. There's a reason they're huge.
