A growing number of instances (mainly of Mastodon so far) are signing an 'Anti-Meta Fedi Pact', pledging to block any instance owned by Meta in the fediverse.

I don't know how big this will get or how effective it will be, but if you run a fediverse instance, you should take a look at this https://fedipact.online/

Fosstodon's official stance on the matter.

Very reasonable and I think sums up my feelings on it as well.

I avoid meta like the plague but making some kind of pre-emptive pact to block it in an open ecosystem seems a lot like a gatekeeping bandwagon; they don't even bother to list an actual reason.

A good actual reason is to preemptively kill any attempt at embrace, extend, extinguish. Meta is like a cancer. It won't stop until it has taken all of our users and the fediverse collapses. It's less gatekeeping and more keeping poison out of the system.
