@dr_a Meta's horrible and they'll corrupt anybody who works with them but I'm actually optimistic about the overall effect on the fediverse.

If you look at the fault lines between who's cozying up to Meta and who isn't, a schism between the two factions could be a big plus in a lot of ways. And with luck the whole situation will put a lot more emphasis on consent -- which could align well with new AcitivtyPub server implementations.
