Read this thread from @tchambers on #meta and pre-emptive blocking.

Pull quote: "Even if the entire existing Fedi pre-blocked them. IG has 1.6 BILLION users. in one day just on their own they will be the size of the current Fedi's MAU and grow from there." Yep.

Which is also a strong argument that Meta sees the #fediverse as a tiny step to get started under good vibes, nothing that will matter to them after.
