Have the admins said anything? Why are we federated with them?

Yep. They don't care and they're going to keep federation with Facebook so "users have the choice to opt out"

Mastodon's largest instance is letting them in too

The new Lemmy 19 allows users to block instances so that's not unreasonable for the largest instances. Gotta show new users that users have control.
