    The companies you mentioned are also nowhere CLOSE to the size and resources of meta. I’m not sure any of those companies could overrun the fediverse as a whole even if they wanted to, maliciously. But Facebook? I have no doubts.

      I’m more concerned about them fiddling with open fed standards like Google did with XMPP, resulting in its effective death.

        That’s my concern as well. The companies mentioned don’t really have the sway to do that either, but Meta definitely could.
