Again, you're not actually making an argument about meta doing anything to make the fediverse worse than it is, you're not even arguing that metas actions in those other situations are directly applicable and will happen here, you're just saying "look at these bad things that Meta did before, sure other bad things must happen".

That is the literal textbook definition of a FUD argument.

Let's flip this around: Show me a thing that Meta has touched that hasn't turned to shit. Why risk the same fate when we don't have to? What is meta bringing to the table that would warrant foolhardiness on our part?

See the opposite of FUD is naivete, hubris, make-believe, not something one wants to be engaged in either.

Huh, if only there was an example of Meta existing on a decentralized platform where I could choose to visit them and interact with their stuff but I didn't have to.

Oh huh, would you look at that, turns out this little decentralized network called the worldwide web has been running it this whole time!

That’s a pretty good example actually. React has been a boon to webdev imo, and I love using it. Yarn too.
