If your instance admin is speaking favorably about #facebook joining the #fediverse, get out now before they start feeding your data to the company partly responsible for overturning several elections (by violating data privacy laws with impunity). The company that demonstrates a clear conservative bias with every act.
Looking for a safer instance? Try this list of spaces with admins of integrity.

I guess if there is a silver lining to all of this, it's that the people who are all Growth Mindset 'Legitimate Business' instances who want all that bullshit and want Corporate Overlords (not cool Shadow Figures) ruling their lives, they'll fuck off to the corpo instances, which will all of course be summarily blocked by the rest of us

Heard some rumblings about Meta having NDA'd meetings with some fedi admins.
GoToSocial will investigate automated blocking of Meta instances, as soon as we know more about what they're planning and what their software looks like.
Fuck Meta, they've caused more than enough harm elsewhere without wading into this place too; and fuck folks who are meeting with them in secret instead of simply and unambiguously telling them to fuck off.
Don't let those pieces of shit get a foothold here.

The "Meta people have been awesome" bit is especially on brand for them. Meta in particular is really good at putting True Believers in front of open source and community engagement stuff until the target demographic is ready to be wholesale consumed.
In this case I can guarantee that the people the big admins are talking to really believe that Meta is going to do right by the fediverse and that's really sad.

If you run an instance and meet with #Meta about the #fediverse under an NDA, your words on the subject cannot be trusted and you deserve every bit of flack that comes your way.
NDAs in this context require you to deceive your community at the direction of one of the most profitable companies in the world.
If that seems fine to you, you have no business running a community.

Dude also seemed to be one of the people who met with Meta/Facebook under NDA: https://universeodon.com/@supernovae/110521648872299829

After repeated incidents with replyguys, full-text search, and now this shit, I think it's well beyond time to call for a #FediBlock of universeodon.com:

Apparently instances aren't "legit" unless they're a "business", according to this guy.

Annoyed that almost every time I boost queer art from this account someone from off-instance reports it, even the non-lewd, no CW needed stuff, like a m/m couple almost-kissing.
So, please show me all of your queer art for me to boost the almighty heck out of it.

while numerous humble fediverse admins are signing The Anti-Meta Pact
it seems some untold number of high-profile ones have signed the opposite
The Meta Vow of Silence
The anti-Meta fedi pact continues to grow, with more and more instance admins pledging to block any Facebook/Meta instances! https://fedipact.online/
If you run a fedi instance, consider signing it too: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/Xz2YqIlhXIFXCitQApFe6Dp14O54I6vuqTUUgo8WbdM/
