@aral @caseynewton The Fediverse may even do their stickiness job for them.

I expect at least some admins may not want their servers' statuses to end in Meta's hands, and will de-federate them.

That'd make a Meta-AP user even less likely to switch instances, because they don't know if they can keep in touch with their friends.

In Meta's position, I'd play the odds and not fuck with the protocol. The "we're an open platform!" card is more valuable.
