The fediverse awaits them with open arms. They just need use closed source, censorship prone social media 🤷

There’s also the other part of this concerning VPNs. While many are using VPNs purely to access garbage social media, using (good) VPNs can help protect your privacy. So I would argue that the fediverse should embrace and support VPNs. It’s always possible that a data center where an instance is hosted gets raided and IP addresses taken and used against users.
Funnily enough the largest lemmy instance don't allow you to use their platform with VPN enabled, unless they've changed policy in last 6 months
