So at any point a community can defederate from meta and only federate with the likeminded free communities.

That is the strength of the fediverse.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if fb or Reddit started their own Lemmy instances, which they would use to post ads, and have some user-transparent integration with their native platform.

But I bet a lot of instances would de-fed them like you say.
