Not quite what I envisioned by I fucking called it: https://lemmy.world/comment/849710

From the very beginning they were going to make it easy to join. The sinister part is always when you try to leave. If you don't play by their rules they will take back everything and leave you high and dry. The ActivityPub support was never going to be a two way street. It's likely a means to siphon fediverse content and drag users back into Meta's data harvesting.
