That's your opinion. It's problematic when people conflate their gut feelings for facts.
There's quite a bit more than a gut feeling here. Meta is a malignant cancer and having nothing to do with it while promoting the fediverse is the wisest course of action.
The fediverse could pose a threat to the market dominance of the Facebook platform and instagram, as there are applications that aim to be direct competitors (frendica, plemora, pixelfed) already in the fediverse. If the fediverse grows, there will be no reason for people to stay on Meta's platforms without them reducing advertisement and increasing user privacy, which is obviously not something they want to do.
