IMO the way to prevent such a scenario from happening is not by blocking Meta, but by inviting equally large competitors to join the fediverse. The described tactic can only work if you have close to a monopoly.

Well they aren't blocked at the fediverse level. They are blocked at the instance level which is the fediverse working as designed.

"I don't want this corporation to control the fediverse! I'd rather it be several of them!"

They already essentially are a monopoly, what are you talking about?
