@Chimaera there are a hundreds of instances that don't want to federate with Meta, so it won't be just a single walled-off server. It's hard to know about second and third hand interactions, it depends to some extent on how the implementation is and how the software evolves. One possibility is a schism where the anti-Meta servers defederate from the Meta-friendly servers and there are sone "neutral ground" servers where everybody can interact. We shall see!

And @Kwakigra you are far from the only one who feels that way!
