In don't think we should federate either but most of that data is public anyway. Everything on mastodon and lemmy can be scraped without being federated.

There is just no way that they will not get more data if you are involved directly with them.

If for nothing else we know they have had meetings with server owners across lemmy and mastodon and also meta have historically provided resources in the hopes of capturing a market. It is not that farfetched that they would have to provide funding when they federate with servers because their userbase is so huge and that could be detrimental to the freedom associated with lemmy.
