Why should Instagram buy some instance? The software is FOSS, they have a shitton of servers, they can host an instance that is a thousand times more powerful than all of the Feddiverse combined just with their idle stuff. Defederate it if it sucks, but the goal should not be a bunch of ivory tower hermit fortresses with the bridges drawn up.

The value is always the user base, never the hardware or software. Social media companies know that very well.
