but weren’t there already reports of Meta blocking links/tags in relation to pixelfed?

Much more likely a result of Meta's notoriously shitty auto moderation algorithms than anything nefarious. I promise Meta is not risking the bad press and potential legal litigation to censor a service with 22k MAU.

they’ve already proven to be a bad faith actor.

They've done this for decades.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re already scraping data from every other instance that federates with them.

I don't know why people keep spreading this nonsense. If your instance is publicly visible (which it is) then Meta is likely already scraping it. They do not need federation to do that.

They do it because they want to make the "Meta is already scraping anyway, so we should just all agree to their terms of service and start federating with them and become one big happy family". It's just good old anti-defederation rhetoric.
