Well I guess that's one way for ActivityPub integration, just with themselves. Don't see why that's a bad idea though, but I also don't use Facebook.

I use Pi-Hole + uBlock origin, there is nothing FB can do to make me read this shit.

I keep an account there to catch up with relatives in other countries, nothing else gets on my feed.

I’m just surprised that people are surprised that meta will promote platform A (that they own) on platform B (that they own).
