I'm trying to think about how they could ruin the fediverse but can't think of anything. If they contribute to the code, it must be open source. So it's either shit and isn't included/no one adopts their changes or it's actually good and makes a better service.
I agree with you on the privacy front - if they want to gobble up data, they can do that now without their own instance. If LLMs want to scrape the fediverse for data there's no stopping them either.
There's plenty of "I want nothing to do with them" here in the post but I'm not really understanding the risk. This isn't an approval of Meta as a company - I just want to understand what people believe the risk is.
