I wish more people understood this. The fediverse isn't owned by anyone. I'm not a big fan of Meta, but I think people overreact. It is not like Meta suddenly saw people joining Lemmy and decided to become federated. They were working on ActivityPub compliance for a while now. Twitter was too, but Elon may have laid off the people working on that.
But ultimately, it's up to each instance to decide. I'd rather some instances federate and some instances de-federate Meta. That how all this works--each instance is different.
W3C set the protocol for websites as well, but Google has such a dominant position in the market that sites have to cater to their version of things versus the actual standard.
We give them an inch and they'll take a mile, as these corporations always do.
