As far as I understand federation, you should be OK as long as you don't interact with instances that are federated with meta garbage. Blocking an instance is one click but it'll hide comments from their users and make you click a button to read them. Its not that big a deal though

I don't know if interacting with users of those federated instances would be safe or not, but your exposure I assume would be limited to whatever you reply to them.
