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.
