I wonder how that breaks down in terms of numbers of users. The largest instances seem to have federated, and they’re the ones that cost the most to run, and Meta has vast amounts of disposable income. I worry Meta will fund some of them in exchange for influence.

Meta doesn’t need to bother with back-channel influence peddling of existing instances. If Meta simply opened its own Lemmy instance it would immediately be the largest Lemmy instance by orders of magnitude.

For all I know Meta or X or Reddit already control or outright own one or more instances. I don’t hang out wherever the fediverse admins hang out, so I don’t have any tea to spill.
