I see this fediverse thing as anticorporate, so it's why I don't find the association with companies like META alluring. There's a reason why I try to avoid META services, and don't have accounts on places like facebook or instagram. If an instance is part of META then I'd be asking myself what's the difference from me having an account with META?
I find corporate take over more troubling than the personal politics of some users, since that's the type presence that can completely change the reason for a platform's existence. Regardless of individual beliefs I think lot of people on the fediverse see corporations as the main enemy, and with any conflict between each other becoming secondary should and when META make a move. This includes instances that want to defederate from each other, since META is like some world ending big boss enemy everyone is in danger of.
