Again, I’m not saying that you should federate with Meta. Go ahead and block them if that’s what you want to do.
What I am saying is that blocking Meta has nothing to do with whether or not Meta uses ActivityPub. It won’t prevent Meta from using ActivityPub. Blocking Meta doesn’t change that ActivityPub is open for anyone to use for any reason—even if those reasons are abusive and unethical.
Certain people are trying to argue otherwise with me. Those people either don’t know what they’re talking about or are blatantly lying.
Your server might block Meta, but that won’t prevent Meta from joining the Fediverse.
How do I know this?
There’s blatantly worse servers than Meta currently on the Fediverse right now. You might not see them, but they can see you. Just because they’re invisible to you doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
