I personally am quite against it. I joined Lemmy to stay away from the toxicity on Meta's platforms. I don't want any corporate bodies on the fediverse either and possibly doing to the fediverse what Google did to XMPP

I mean isn’t that the beauty of it? You don’t have to subscribe to anything meta and you can join servers that actively block it. I think it’s a good thing if it gets more users on activity pub so our communities can thrive.
In an ideal world, I would agree with this, but as OP mentioned, the worry is they'll do something similar to what Google did with XMPP. Meta starts adding non-standard features and extensions to activity pub, grows their platform to the point where all other instances are forced to adopt the same standard, then they defederate to close off the ecosystem, making them the only option for many to stay connected. I feel like the only way to not fall into that trap is to either not bother copying whatever proprietary stuff they add right from the start or not federate with them to begin with. If there are alternatives I'm not considering, I would love to hear them.
Yeah point taken for sure. I would hope the kbin and lemmy servers I am apart of block federation with Meta.
Can you imagine the quality of user that has stuck with the abusive spouse that is Facebook all this time? You don't want them in here.
Oh yay, I can’t wait for fucking Facebook quality content coming our way!
I’d rather die than thrive if that’s your idea of it.
Lol no I do not want Facebook content. I think I probably didn’t explain myself properly. I hope the fediverse gains more legitimacy and exposure to more people because of this and some of them come to lemmy and kbin and others. I don’t want anything to do with Facebook or it’s algorithms.
EDIT from my other comment:

I think you are lost. This is an instance meta where that discussion is being had. We are discussing lemmy.blahaj.zone
