My first reaction is this sounds like a great way to onboard more folks into the fediverse - but is this a perhaps a paradox of intolerance? Does Meta as a corporate entity have a natural intolerance to the freeness and openness of the fediverse, and if so, does it need to be violently rejected?
From what I've seen, irregardless threads/there version on the fediverse is going to scrape any and all instances also on the fediverse. Blocking them wont necessarily help with any of this, but maybe if even communities do they wont have enough content to make it profitable? Maybe I'm naive. Well, I know I am, but any way to stick it to the man is a good idea in my book.
The goal short term isn't to be profitable though. The goal is to pull enough users so they can effectively stunt the growth of 'competition'.
