You’re right, but looking at this analogy backwards tells us the problem isn’t the ability for Uber/ISPs to ban users–this happens and isn’t a problem with Uber-- it’s that Uber, unlike ISPs, doesn’t hold a monopoly on feasible means of transportation. We can’t reasonably expect a business to act outside its own best interests, so it’s insane to allow a business to exist in such a form. Short term, sure, regulate; but really, nationalize it.

Your contract should be moved over to Cloudflare automatically and they have committed to honoring existing prices for now.

I think Cameo is different from “Cameos on Google.”
Put another way, given the size of Meta and its userbase, it’s completely infeasible for a typical instance to moderate on their behalf, so defederating due to insufficient moderation makes sense. Just like with Beehaw and sh.itjust.works or whatever. (I take for granted that moderation will suck ass because gestures vaguely at Facebook.)
That’s a good enough reason for me. I also think federating with Meta is a bad idea on principle and out of self-interest, since they will extinguish the fediverse at the first possible opportunity and federating with them gives them the chance to draw in users and later wall them off.
