Like Lilly, I am also worried about the perspective that Meta, Google, etc. would come into the Fediverse. I am not an expert of the technical part. So, how can I block a Meta instance, for example?

@Bam, you wrote in a response to Lilly:
"You can just block the instagram instance."
What has instagram to do with Mastodon?
Doesn't Mastodon provide an option for blocking an istance?

The articles indicate that Meta is planning on joining the Fediverse by implementing ActivityPub with Instagram. So, if that proves to be the case, and they create an instance like insta.gram, you can simply block the instance if you don’t want to deal with it.

Admittedly, what Meta’s plan is isn’t entirely clear, but it would make sense for Instagram to be the first to implement AP, as it has had its own culture since before Meta acquired it and, for quite some time, IG folks have been able to chart their own course for the platform. Since Pixelfed is the only AP like app in the space, it would be a good way for Meta to dip their toes in the AP water without cannon balling into the pool.
