How do we feel about Meta joining the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

Personally, I want nothing to do with them and I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I moved to the Fediverse to get away from all these corpos.

Pros

more attention to the Fediverse and all the advancement that may bring with it.
If the Fediverse ever becomes mainstream corporations will end up with their own content on it so having Meta join would provides early insight on how the Fediverse may be effected by becoming mainstream.

Cons

Some instances may not have the server load to support being federated with Meta
There's a decent chance it hinders healthy growth (Like a Cuckoo hatchling that starves out the bird's actual children.)
