Fosstodon's official stance on the matter.
Very reasonable and I think sums up my feelings on it as well.
I avoid meta like the plague but making some kind of pre-emptive pact to block it in an open ecosystem seems a lot like a gatekeeping bandwagon; they don't even bother to list an actual reason.
A good actual reason is to preemptively kill any attempt at embrace, extend, extinguish. Meta is like a cancer. It won't stop until it has taken all of our users and the fediverse collapses. It's less gatekeeping and more keeping poison out of the system.
