There is no indication that they never will de-federate from Meta.

All they have said is rather than shutting the stable before the horse bolts, they are actually waiting for the horse to get in the stable first and then address if the door needs closing.

There really is no need to either defederate from meta, or make that decision right now anyway

Have a read in that link and you can see some conversation about it. Meta is a known evil, waiting for more proof is unneeded when you can just look into their history. There are links in that link. It's just a cover to slide +1 step towards allowing meta to control what we talk about.

The best argument I heard to defederate and have noting to do with Meta is this; this is the company that had/has a platform where hate, disinformation and lies have created a divide in society, several older generations were 'socially engineered' to start to think differently, more absolute and right wing. In short, Meta has a platform known for causing division amongst countrymen and families.

Pre-emptive nuking is what is needed, followed by some DDT thrown over it for good measure. This needs to stop. This is not a technical decision, this is a social one in order to try and save us from that shitshow FB/Zuck/Meta gave us.
